Fuel Line Setup Help
Ok here is what I have
tank-->Walbro GSL-392 fuel pump--> Wix 33737 filter--> firewall Passenger side F.A.S.T. rail port--> out front port and into drivers side front port. My question is this 1. Does the Walbro GSL pump have the fuel pressure regulator internally as it is for a Vette 2. If it does not have the fuel pressure regulator, where should i put the fuel pressure regulator? 3. On the F.A.S.T. fuel rails, do you need to run a return line back to the tank or can you just cap it and put a fuel pressure gauge and then the return line will be from the wix filter back to the tank instead? Thanks everyone for the help!

Re: Fuel Line Setup Help
The F.A.S.T. fuel rails are set up with an AN Fitting to return to the tank, but i am wondering if can just put a cap at one end. I figure if it has the fuel pressure in the rails regulated by the fiter or pump then i dont see the problem. I need someone smarter than me though let me know if I am right.

Re: Fuel Line Setup Help
As stated above your filer is the "corvette" filter.
That filter has the regulator in it. It also has 3 lines. 1 in, 1 out to engine, and 1 return. Use that as the return and find the correct plug for the fuel rail. Also keep your in line fuel pump mounted as low as possible in relation to the tank. They dont like to pull fuel up hill.

Re: Fuel Line Setup Help
Thanks cruizer! Instead of a plug would it be possible to put the fuel pressure gauge there instead to cap it?

Re: Fuel Line Setup Help
sure. just remember that (my feelings) the guage looks cool, but is not functional, for the most part. you need to be able to monitor the fuel pressure at wide open under a load. when i was adjusting a regulator on a tpi car we had the guage taped to the outside of the windshield with a hose down to the test port. this worked good.
