Review: Looks Neat - My fuel rail was leaking so decided to replace it and saw this product and figured it to be a good idea. I’ve never had heat soak/vapor lock issues with my 4.0L but hopefully with this product I’ll never have to deal with it. Right from the box you can tell the heat shields are quality. The kit is definitely a bit pricy but well worth it because I didn’t have to modify any of the heat shields for my 02’ WJ. Instructions were clear and installation was a breeze. The only awkward part was putting the heat shields on the injectors but it all worked out. Overall, definitely worth it if your 4.0L runs hot and not to mention it looks pretty neat when installed.
Review: (UPDATED) I'll admit I was wrong - Well guys it finally happened. We finally got our first hot enough day in Memphis, Tennessee to require A/C and test out my new fuel rail/injector insulation. The install went okay, I put it on a while ago while it was still cold outside. The injector o-rings it came with are a perfect fit. The injector wraps are a so-so fit. The manifold shield I did not use since my factory shield (they're identical) is still intact. The fuel rail fits like a glove once you figure out where to cut the damn thing to make it POSSIBLE to wrap around the rail. Cut a hole for your schrader valve if equipped. But when it's all said and done? It looks great and fits tight. So it's gotta work, right? UPDATE: July 7, 2019, Everyone I have to admit I was wrong when I first wrote my review. I removed the unnecessary bickering and have to apologize to DEI, you guys did a good job after all. I don't know why I previously had symptoms of heat soaking on a ~70* day with this first installed but now that we are well into the 90's I haven't had ANY issues whatsoever. A/C on, hot humid days stuck in interstate traffic, stop and go, very little airflow through the radiator, yet when I get home and shut the Jeep off, change clothes, and head back out for the gym; no vapor lock. I don't have any active fault codes and the only thing I've done to the engine since this install was I also replaced a faulty Throttle Position Sensor. Perhaps the failing TPS gave me SIMILAR symptoms to vapor locking that were affected by excessive heat while still driving and I just thought this insulation kit was to blame. I don't know, but I do know that I was wrong. I'm running harder and hotter than ever in Memphis traffic and getting absolutely NO vapor lock on any cylinder. So this kit is doing great and I wouldn't hesitate to go wheeling in a desert somewhere. I'll continue to update this if anything changes but for now, I highly recommend this kit! I had to come back here to eat my words so I can keep my feedback as accurate as possible. Plus, it's terribly simple to install. I'll add pictures soon. Thanks again!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why does it say this doesn’t work on 02 wrangler 4.0?**
A: Not sure, but I can tell you it works on a 99 Grand Cherokee 4.0 and an 03 Grand Cherokee 4.0. Not sure what the differences between the wrangler and Grand Cherokee 4.0’s are

**Q: Does it fit a 2003 TJ wrangler ?**
A: This Jeep Fuel Rail kit is meant for any Jeep with a 4.0L inline 6 cylinder engine, '97 - '04. This will also work for mater model 4.0L inline 6cyl engine with some modification to the fuel rail sleeve.

**Q: Is there any reason why this shield/kit would not fit a 1996 Cherokee XJ 4.0?**
A: If the intakes and fuel rail look the same, it'll likely fit.. There have been small changes in the intake manifold over the years that could make the flat shield not fit..

**Q: Will this fit an 82 cj7 4.2 that has mopar mpi installed? it is based on the wrangler 4.0 mpi set up.**
A: Can’t speak specifically to that motor, but this set fits the 99-03 4.0 in the Grand Cherokee for sure and I’m sure the same years of Wrangler.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A little pricey, but quality product
*by B***D on March 28, 2022*

I use my Jeep XJ to tow a small boat, so I am all too familiar with heat soak issues. I would leave it running on the boat ramp so I didn't have to shudder and shake, barely making it up the ramp. So far this kit solved the problem. I also added hood vents to keep the engine bay Temps down, but I'm sure this kit is enough to stop the heat soak problems. All the fuel rail brackets and holes lined up perfectly, except for the pressure regulator, but one cut with some scissors fixed that. My factory heat shield was totally destroyed, see photo, so the new one looks great. Top of the engine looks much better. I found it best to install the injector wraps after the fuel rail was re-installed. It was too difficult to line up the injectors with holes and connect the electrical connectors with the wraps installed. Overall a nice product. I will definitely save some fuel/wear and tear by not leaving the jeep running during stops.
