Blower Application - Fuel Pressure Reg. & Return Valve
#1
There was a discussion here not long ago about setting up the fuel system for a dual carbed blower . I think it was Mike Tkach that mentioned rigging an adjustable fuel pressure regulating valve that will return unused fuel back to the tank . Is this the fuel return check valve that was mentioned ? It can be shimmed to the correct pressure . http://www.rbssuperchargers.com/Prod...-0040&pID=9144

If that`s a -6AN line coming in then I`d say thast a bit small.
I have a -10AN into a Y then -6AN feeding each carb.
At the end there that is not the regulator we discussed, thats just a check valve.
Instead of that brass check valve you`d need a regulator and a line back to the tank.
Pretty sure that set up is for a self regulated fuel pump. They use the check valve to return any extra pressure back to the tank? weird

With that being said, that same pump, with the higher pressure spring that can make 14-15psi, coupled to a return style regulator set to 7psi, is a great setup.

of course if you are using an electric pump, than thats a different story.
Either way, -10 line feeding the pump, -8 from pump to carb feed lines works for most anything an 8-71 can accomplish on pump gas.

You can buy just the valve from Enderle for around $40
