What is marine approved?

Just like with fuel pumps and starters etc. the regulators are supposed to be coast guard approved. I'm not sure what the difference is, but depending on the configuration you're looking for you won't have nearly as broad a selection.

I'm 99% sure nobody makes a coast guard approved regulator...

I know they do. The question is whether anyone cares about it ?

Generally marine equipment such as fuel pumps etc. have a vent/overflow tube that runs back in to the induction system that supposedly keeps raw fuel from spilling into the bilge.

I don't want to hijack thread but Im looking to create a fuel system for a blow through fuel Injection system with dual tanks if anyone has experience could chime in.

To the hijacker you will need a switching valve to go from tank to tank, efi pump, boost referenced regulator a but load of fittings and hose.

This is pretty much how I would do it. This is the fuel block Mike Tee Cat is using , in the link.
