hahaha nice.
so tomorrow im going to try that out. im so shocked that the o-ring itself and the washer is enough to hold the gas. oh well. should be fine. on a brighter side. ive been reading the "evosupra" new paint job thread........ some good entertainment.

Think about it, an even smaller O-Ring hold the fuel in the rail where the injectors connect... besides, I suspect the threads (when properly torqued) hold back most of the pressure. The FPR doesn't use a tapered thread (at least not from what I recall) so there's no worry about you having spread the opening too far... if it is tapered and the o-ring doesn't provide the seal, you may indeed be looking for a new fuel rail... But, I don't think that's the case at all.
Oh god... don't remind me... <----- All applicable.

I think it means to loosen it so that you can rotate the pressure regulator independent of the lock nut position, allowing you to set it right and then torque the fpr down on the fuel rail.

Wow.... umm.... yeah. I'm sorry you're having so much trouble too. I'll dig out my spare fuel rail and FPR and make a video this weekend if need be... you are making this too hard or something is F@$%ED up.
No, you can't install the O-ring before the FPR. A thicker O-ring could cause problems if it is too thick. Get the right size... it'll be metric. 10mmID x 2mm is what I come up with measuring mine and accounting for changes in shape from prior service. Step one: With FPR off of fuel rail unthread lock nut all the way with just your fingers (this means the lock nut will move UP toward the FPR's body). Step two: screw FPR onto the fuel rail by hand until it stops... DO NOT TIGHTEN ANYTHING! Step three: Unscrew the FPR just enough to get it pointing the right direction. Step four: tighten lock nut. NOTE: To help ensure that the o-ring isn't getting pinched you may wet it with a little soapy water before threading the FPR onto the rail.
