Anyone use the ITP regulated return kit?

I'm in the process of designing a VO (Vegetable Oil) fuel system for my 99 F250. The stock "deadhead" fuel system will not suffice as "unused" fuel is trapped at the end of the line. VO must be [thoroughly] purged (in my design) with diesel on shutdown, which is not possible in a deadhead. The only way I know to do this is with a fuel return path, which the regulated return kit provides, besides an escape route for trapped air.

So has anyone had any experience with ITP's or Rocky Mountain's (www.gormtruck.com) regulated return kits, or anyone else's? Any info on performance, installation, reliability, etc. appreciated.

I have ITP's system. Great directions, took better part of a day to install it but very straight forward. Improved my mileage 1-1.5 and the truck runs smoother with it. I played with the pressure and finally settled on 68lbs. I have had it on for about 5K now with no troubles.

I've run the ITP system since the summer of 02 with zero problems. Expect performance and economy to improve somewhat. Installation is about 3-4 hours.

I've had the ITP kit for a year or so. Works for me.
