Fuel regulator?
I'm picking up a new fuel regulator to replace my factory regulator.
Should I get this one?

-6 lines.
Here's my plan:
-mount up a 0-100psi gauge on the FPR
-Connect one side of the rail to the factory vent line that goes back to the tank and use that as the return line.
-Connect the factory fuel feed line to the FPR inlet with -6 hose
-Connect FPR outlet to rail with -6 hose
I figured out how to do the bosch 044 in tank with a few parts but I thought that I could just hook this up first and test a bit? Pump now is walboro 255hp so with the afpr it should be able to flow more I think.

What Ferdi said.
Is the stock vent hardline of sufficient diameter to serve as a return line? Never really looked at one.
The correct routing for the basic configuration you're describing would be:
Pump -> filter -> feedline -> rail -> FPR -> return line -> tank.

Check out this link for a couple of guys that upgraded fuel systems, you might even know the guy who started the thread.

Also, FYI, the picture you posted is not an accurate representation of the NB fuel system. The fuel exits the tank and goes through the fuel filter, than hits a tee, where one end of the tee goes forward to the rail and the other goes back into the tank and then into the FPR.

So if the feed out of the tank goes to the filter then a t all he would have to do is take his dual feed rail take one side and run it back to that t and feed it back to the tank with the new regulator mounted in the engine bay somewhere. This would save the hassle of removing the tank and it allows you to bypass the stock FPR with out having to remove it. Correct?
