Hey everyone, i was wondering what will be required for me to switch to a low pressure fuel pump for carbs. Do i plug off the return line or do i still use it somehow? Anyone have any specific examples of what they did with all of the extra lines after removing their fuel injection system? Thanks

First: Why are you switching to carbs? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stirthepot.gif)
Second: You can buy a low pressure fuel pump for carbs for roughtly $50. Third: A fuel pressure regulator can help with the pressure. Fourth: You will have to "close" the return fitting at the fuel tank. Maybe even something as simple as a bolt in the end of the fuel line with a fuel injection hose clamp. There is only a feed and return line with FI so there are not alot of extra lines unless you're counting the cold start line |
