Upgrading to an aluminum fuel rail can offer several potential benefits, particularly in performance-oriented or high-performance Jeep applications. Here are some reasons why individuals might choose to upgrade to an aluminum fuel rail:
Improved Fuel Flow: Aluminum fuel rails have smoother internal surfaces compared to stock fuel rails, which can help improve fuel flow. This improved flow can be beneficial, especially in 4.0 Turbo or Supercharged Jeep engines as well as 4.6/4.7 stroker engines
Reduced Heat Transfer: Aluminum has lower thermal conductivity compared to the OE Steel fuel rail. This means aluminum fuel rails are less likely to conduct heat from the engine to the fuel, helping to fight the common "heat soaked" or "vapor lock" issue commonly experienced with the Jeep 4.0. Cooler fuel is also denser and can provide better combustion efficiency, potentially resulting in improved performance.
Customization and Appearance: The NRT Autosports Aluminum fuel rails are available in various colors, allowing vehicle owners to customize the appearance of their engine bay. NRT Autosports also allows customers to add their personalized logos or designs to a fuel rail the purchase
Durability: Aluminum is generally corrosion-resistant, which can contribute to the long-term durability of the fuel rail. This can be especially important in vehicles that are exposed to harsh environmental conditions.
Our Aluminum fuel rail along with a aftermarket fuel pressure regulator and some simple plumbing allows you to add a return line to the non-return 96-06 Jeep 4.0 fuel system. Adding a return will eliminate the common heat related issues experienced with the 4.0
