Where does the fuel pump go before it goes to the rail?
The VST pump pressurizes fuel before it gets to the rail. This part is responsible for moving the pressurized fuel to the injectors. With this filter found within the vapor separator tank, all of the fuel is filtered before it gets to the fuel pump. The in-line filter further separates smaller contaminants from the fuel before getting to the VST.
