I believe the vehicle has a hi pressure fuel pump in the tank. The filter should be located in that line coming from the tank to the engine compartment. Are we correct in assuming this vehicle has only one fuel tank?

The manifold cracks below the motor block, my local mechanic is saying my fuel injectors now because its spitting a high amount of gas and it's shooting out of my engine and mixing into my oil i burnt 5 gallons trying to show him my problem lol so can this be the problem? Any ideas that i can check using basic tools at home?

Jer,
Let's take this one at a time !
If the fuel pressure regulator is defective it could be allowing lots of fuel to go into the intake and it's just more than the engine can burn. To confirm this just pull the vacuum hose off the fuel pressure regulator that is located on the fuel rail and see if fuel comes out of the hose. If so, replace the regulator. So before going any further let's see what you find.

Heyyyyyyy, another lucky guess !
FYI, the fpr has a diaphram in it and if it ruptures vacuum sucks in lots of fuel.
Glad you found and corrected the problem nice job.
