I am looking for a drawing or detail Or picture how to route the fuel lines. I have searched the web but no luck. I have an idea about the supply line but not sure about the return line?
Thanks

You can also get a bypass regulator that can be controlled with vacuum so you get the optimum pressure at all times.


Can you explain a little more about this type? I'm shopping for a bypass regulator now and had pretty much settled on the PMO, but interested about the theory behind a vacuum controlled regulator and where to find them. I hadn't come across them and it's a part of the car I'd like to know more about.

I will be using a Facet fuel pump. When not using a return line do you cap the return at the fuel tank?

Facet pumps will drive you batty with the noise. I've used them. They work, but are about as fun as having a hairy nun drum her fingers on your skull for hours on end. Never again.
