Hey guys !  I am going tru rebuilding my turbo bike after it caught fire !
my fuel hose got undone from the coupling after about 1 year that it was assembled !
I want to recommend everybody that has there Fuel pressure regulator in front of there plenum to move it to the back
because if anything happens the fuel goes directly on your headers and will catch fire in about 1 second !
