I recently changed to PMO carbs. I have the PMO fuel pressure regulator which calls for the use of the fuel return line. I previously had used a Carter inline pump and did not have the return line hooked up.
I am installing new metal fuel lines from tangerine. I figure that if I am replacing lines, I might as well replace the return line also (even if I don’t use it). My question is- can I use the same carters inline pump and also use the fuel return line or do I have to get a fuel pump that has a return port? I have never used a fuel return line so I have a poor understanding of its function- I am not clear if any sort of pump pressure is needed to get the fuel to return? |

The return comes off of PMO regulator.
One in from pump, one out (return) and two to the carbs, one for each carb. |

So do I run the line directly from the pmo regulator up front to the fuel tank?

Interested in a mount for the PMO regulator?
Needs no holes drilled into the car. Easy to see the gauge and adjust the pressure. I'm thinking $35 shipping included. I'll post some pics later tonight. |
