all the newer renault MPI's have plastic fuel rails, which is why the 172's etc have the metal block under the inlet fanimold. |

I thought the trivia had to be retro related?\
But there isnt any difference, other than manufacturing costs. |

I was just saying i liked it 
I was always under the impression that any car part that as suddenly made from plastic instead was a cost issue
I'll go with metal |

strange int it, to save money theyve made the rail out of plastic, but theyve prolly had to spend that making a block to protect it lol. |
