So I recently ditched the union fitting fuel pipes on the X20XEV as they cracked sitting around, and buying a new set was ridiculously expensive, so I switched to standard push fit fuel hoses onto barbed connections that fit on to the fuel rail.
Unfortunately, I made a schoolboy error and removed them both at the same time without making a mental note of which hose connects to which side of the fuel rail.
Does someone have a photo of what hose goes where? If not, can someone just briefly explain which fuel pipe connects to what side of the fuel rail?
I'll be preparing the Cavalier for it's first start after 3 years and need to make sure all that stuff is in order.
Much appreciated

Re: Fuel send & return pipes to fuel rail.
just had a look.
from the front of car the feed pipe goes on the right of the rail and is the top hose.

Legend!
Looking at the orientation of the photo... Top hose goes to the furthest connection on the fuel rail and bottom hose goes to the nearest connection of the fuel rail.
Excellent
