Can I exchange my 3 port fuel pump temporarily to a late model single port? Is it not a good idea to plug the Fuel pump return line (I see that it goes to the pressure regulator and I believe the return line to the tank)? Please advise.
Edit: The wife is driving me crazy to get this thing on the road! We carpool to work everyday and she's getting a little testy.

You do need to return the fuel to the tank. Even the late models return the fuel to the tank.
the gas comes from the tank and then to the pump, around your FI system where it hits the pressure regulator then back to the pump and to the tank. I think if you do not return the fuel to the tank you will have too much pressure and that may cause leaks and lead to a fire. I could be wrong, but is it worth finding out the hard way? Tell the wife you must do it right... |
