Well, I just posted this in the other thread, but in case someone's only following one, here's what Dennis said about their fitting on the filter bowl:
It looks as though there is a small bleed hole after all and it doesn't just cap off the stock regulator hole. But man nut, I sure do like the look of those braided lines in your system. Maybe I could figure out a way to make a part similar to what the ITP system has. Something line a small bleed orifice over the stock output on the bowl, then use a T attatched to that so you could run the line from the regulator to it and attach the factory return line to the last port?
Yes, my fitting has a small bleed orifice. None of the stock pieces are used behind it except the o-ring.

Hey guys do you have to re-route the feed lines to the back of the head or can you just hook the the bleed lines to the back of the head? I see nut hooked his feed lines to the back of the heads. If bleeding off the air is all that needs to be done it should work either way right? Thanks agian Lancer

That's still working against the laws of mother nature. IMO the best way to do it is to feed the heads at the rear to allow all bubbles to rise. Yeah, it's extra work, but I don't care. IMO the end result will be that much better.

Kwik, concerning the stock regulator placement and air bleeding with that it's easy to see it isn't at the top of the filter housing...how about some sort of bleed system thru the filter cover.

Nut, Did you put some kind of flow restriction on the return line after the reg or is it full flow back to the tank? By some of the pics from DI, it appears as if they have 'crimped' the return line to reduce flow to the tank. Also have you had any long runs that gave you the opportunity to test the fuel tank temperature?

Hey guys i was looking at some 1/4" hydraulic hose. It will easily take the pressure and its rated for 212*f. Do you think hydraulic line will stand up to diesel fuel. Sorry for all the questions just want to do it right. Also i was thinking of using a jet from a snowmobile carb for my orifice. Nice and small and easy to get! Thanks agin Lance
