One line is a supply line, the second is a vent line, the third line is a fuel return line. I have the fuel supply line from the tank going to the fuel pump, the vent line vents at the gas tank sending unit, and the fuel return line goes from my regulator back to the tank. My regulator is located after the fuel pump and before the carburetor. The fuel regulator has two outlets, one going to the carb and the other is going back to the gas tank as a fuel return line. Do I have this system setup correctly? When the truck is at idle the fuel pressure gage flutters. The gage is located just before the carburetor. Thank You......DET45
what do you have? a st. car or a full out racer. what you have is ok for the st. up to 6,000 rpm. you need to know what pressure you have at the carb. at the hights rpm's that you turn.
