Regulated Fuel Return Part II
Here is a what I did the first time https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/9...wl-delete.html.
The reason for changing my set up is because I can't leave well enough alone.
Here is some pics of my new fuel system.
I started by modding a extra set of factory fuel lines I had.After cutting to length and some new bends,I brazed on a 3/8" JIC male end and then flared the other end for a female 3/8" JIC.
Here is the lines in place.The male end will run to the regulator return.The female end is the feed line to the rear of the heads.
I used the factory line to the pass side rear head as a pattern for the new line.The driver side line was ran along the top of the head.
Here is the regulator and front lines in place.
With using the factory lines I put the return line right back in place and hooked up my feed line to the factory fuel line.
My truck still runs the same I just like this set up much better.No rubber lines on the engine to worry about.

that looks really good, when i put my rr in i was suprised at how small the stock lines and fittings are compared to the 3/8 line -6 fittings. to me it almost seems like overkill and have been thinking about dropping down to -4jic fittings and smaller lines to get a cleaner look.

If you stay with stock injectors I don't see a prob with running 1/4" line.

Even going to bigger lines, still need to squeeze the fuel through a 1/4" fitting. I did go to 3/8" lines with my stock injectors. I am also planning to bigger. A difference will be noticed when fuel is flowing through all 4 corners.
