Looking into dumping the mechanical fuel pumps on my Gen 6 motors that are attached to the sea pumps. Is it possible to run the fuel excess pressure through the water/fuel separator housing? I am sick and tired of these pos fuel pumps leaking diaphragms. Any pics or hand drawn schematics? What are the drawbacks?

What HP? I ran Mallory 140's with regulators dead headed for 10 years. I then plumbed them with a return to my fuel seperators for another few years.
I'm currently running Holley blue pumps w/ regulators dead headed on a set of Merc 420's.
As stated with red pump you don't need a regulator or return. (<400HP)
I did this to also ditch the sea pump/fuel pump.
