You don't mean the banjo bolt which direct fuel into the rail?  That's
the only thing on the right side of the fuel rail as I see it.

no not the bolt but the thing right before it

its round on top,one side goes to the banjo bolt and the other to the
fuel line.

and i am going to install a fuel pressure gauge soon i got a 2.5bar FPR
so when i turn the car off should the pressure in the rale stay the
same because of the check valve after the pump or should it drop
pressure till i start it the next day??

Still don't know what parts you are referring to.  The picture in the
link doesn't have anything else on the fuel rail except the banjo bolt
connections and the FPR.

Regardless, I think the fuel pressure should remain the same or you'll
be cranking longer in the morning to start the car.

You got me, I've never seen anything like it.

Best guess would be a regulator for some other Fuel. I can't tell from the picture - does it sort of look like a mini BBQ regulator?

I think it must then be a rail that accepts propane or natural gas fuels.

However, I cannot say that I've ever seen one and would not expect a rail to be dual purposed on a 9000 series car. Perhaps it is, but I would have thought it needed a different main computer to fire the engine properly.

Perhaps not - who knows the many oriental delights that lurk within the tiny crystalline heart that is the mighty Trionic Engine Management System..

It would normally stay the same, but on some cars it leaks down
overnight. It doesn't matter if it does, the pump will generally
re-pressurize it instantly.

Cheers,

Colin.
