The 885s need both fittings Pete, they go either way round as the rail is just a tube really

Wonder if you can fit the later rail off the 955 and plug the fitting in the tank?

I have a 2006 rail if you want to try it. I never understood the loop on the earlier fuel injection.

Basically all that happens is one end is pressurised by the pump and the other end is attached to the pressure regulator so bleeds excess back into the tank.

I'm guessing that the later one has all the bleed section in the pump/tank area.

Well I tried swapping the fittings around to see if it made any difference due to the regulator bleeding back and it didn't :( going to have to wait till it warms up a bit before any further investigation as its too feckin cold in the shed, thanks for the suggestions and offers...much appreciated.

Following  on from a post in the Quick connect post and a reply from iansoady that got me thinking that my problem could be the pressure regulator. So I removed it for testing, the manual states a working system pressure of 40 -47psi and stamped on the reg is 3 bar. With a hose attached to the brass stub and the unit emersed in water I took the pressure up to 55 psi and it held it....so looks like it's cooked, new one ordered a d hope it cures the situation

It does, the regulator assy is clamped to the metal feed pipe inside the tank just before it exits through the plate.
