Title: Return fuel line ?
Post by: glassback kid on October 07, 2018, 10:16:32 am
Hi guys need some advise on whether I need to run a return fuel line, I am going to put a 8mm kunifer pipe through my 58bug and replace the mechanical fuel pump with lucas low pressure 2.5-4.5 psi electric pump this will be running through a filter king/regulator and feeding a pair of 44idfs on my 1914 motor, the way I look at is with the motor running the carbs are taking the fuel it needs so shouldn't need a return for unused fuel or excess pressure

if you ever will run FI you will need a return line. if you go to the trouble of replacing the line, just put two in to be safe for the future....just my 2c

Wouldn't you just use the stock line for EFI fuel return?
