Why Not?

so it might be a dumb question but i havent seen anything about it, doing e-fuel why cant you just throw a pump on inline, and use the same requlator you have and bypass the mechanical pump?

Its not that easy.
The pump is NOT just in line.
It is dual stage and feeds fuel into filter,back out and then into both heads.
Second is doing the tipical efuel system style gives better filtration than the OE filter yields.
And most importantly declutters the v and eliminates the leak prone system.

Plus you have better control of fuel pressure.

You can do the "tight wad" mod and use the OE regulator in a retrofitted refuel system .


But I sure love my aeromotive regulator!

You can. But bill gets a regulator off eBay that's dirt cheap. All the fittings will be what adds up fastest. I used steel jic fittings from the hydraulic shop with the push loc hose and that saved the bank big! I also used the factory lines just hooking up front in the v and down on the rail before where the soft hose is.
