Hello all! I am looking for some help.
Quick back story . . . spun main brgs in Apr 2020, full rebuild on my ej255, my first Subaru engine rebuild started Jan 2021.

Issue:
I am reassembling my intake manifold and the attached picture shows where I am fairly certain my return line is supposed to connect, but, I cannot understand how. I am pretty sure a regular fuel line was on there before but it was cracked when removed and now I don't remember. Its a REALLY tight corner. Should I have a formed line?

Cheers!

I believe the hose you are looking for is part number 807707111, which does appear to be a formed hose.

I have an extra intake sitting in my garage. Does this picture help?

you should replace all those little hoses and tighten all the hose clamps. they are notorious to come loose and start leaking fuel. i just did mine with new clamps that i can get a slotted screwdriver into and i used just high pressure fuel line from any autopart store. the formed lines are nice, but expensive compared to what i got at the auto store.

Thanks for the tip! I did get some new line and was changing them out when I ran into this problem. Hence the question about a formed hose. Ill swap the straight shot pieces as I can but this piece will be picked up today. Thanks again!
