Lorenzo Fuel Systems (LFS) is crap. - SRT Forums

Lorenzo Fuel Systems (LFS) is garbage. Their product is crap, their customer service is horrible. DO not buy anything from them.

Bought one of their fuel rails for an srt-4 swapped avenger, received the product, it was garbage. Talked to a rep of theirs, they swore that everything was quality assured and that all the fittings would seal. So the fuel rail was installed, all the AeroQuip npt fittings bottomed out long before a good seal was ever made. The rail seemed to seal okay after a lot of fanagling (tape, goop, etc) then after about 5 min at the track it started spurting fuel from all it's fittings.

Now, all this would be fine and acceptable if LFS had been upstanding enough to stand behind their product quality and send us a new fuel rail but they insisted that their product was flawless and there must have been an error in the installation. They refused to send us a new product until we sent them back the fuel rail and they inspected it. Time is money, that kind of turnaround time is unacceptable. They lost our money and our business.

We now have an OBX fuel rail, no problems, great rail.

Let me tell you a little story, I will use illustrations so that if anyone from LFS reads this thread, they will actually know what I'm talking about.

first the fuel pressure gauge hole

Thats crazy. I've had my LFS product for like 4 years now. Good stuff.

I had an LFS rail & throttle body & fitment on both were perfect. I never once had any problems with either product.

did the rail come like this ??? cause it looks like someone cross threaded it bad.

not to say its the OP's fault but it just dosnt look like a defect product but it very well could have been IDK

LFS had some issues a few years back with their throttle bodies not sealing well, but other than that I've only heard good things. I hope this gets resolved. On a side note, how do you really like the OBX rail?

my OBX rail is a POS. i had to retap (drill then tap) all the fittings, had to sand down the bottem of the mounts to be able to fit the stock sized injectors (short ones). make SURE you locktite the bolts on the bottem, mine came loose and slung fuel all over the place. fun time that was.
