Yeah but most of them would be just as rusty as mine was.

It's leaking next to the shrader valve.

So I guess it's that bad lol. Its too bad there aren't aftermarket ones out there because that would be B.A.

I don't know where you're from, and I know climate affects how things rust in different parts of the country but I was at the JY yesterday here in crappy eastern PA having a look at what there was to take and I didn't see any rusty fuel rails...yeah I would get an aftermarket one too though...

Michigan, lol part of the "rust belt". I went and checked out a parted out ZJ tonight and the fuel rail was almost as bad as mine so I passed.
I'm gonna resort to the junkyard tomorrow and see if I can find anything worth taking home. odds are with all the cars they have, I'll find something.
