You have to think..I ran a FEED and RETURN.
Now -10 **** isnt cheap..that sucked
Two Y-Blocks for dual inline pumps...that make 12-13 more fittings or so
I also did bulkheads before the bay..fittings for the rails, filters, etc etc

ahhh...was thinking about a basic but larger stock setup, like single pump, filter, main line, reg., rails, return.

Sounds like a NASTY fuel system...hope you post some pics

Yes they look nice and work great..virtualy leak free.

I was thinking..really..the fittings make up 1/2 the sys..other than that its line and your hard components (which AN fittings are needed for)

Atleast I got what I need, and this sys is good for 900hp so no worries

I hear ya on the fittings and system in general.

Twin Pierburgs, sumped tank, SX filter, SX regulator and aeromtive rails.

Make sure you feed and return off the rails individually.

Too bad I had a bunch of leftover -10 -8 -6 fittings.

Chris.

What I did was run a single -8 to the engine compartment then used a billet Y block with 2 -8's to each rail. Then a -6 From each rail back to the regulator with a -6 return to the tank. Feeding both rails seperate guarantees no fuel starvation to the second rail.
