I'm building a RETURN style fuel system for my car.
There's a good chance I'm overthinking things as all 3 of these setups have been done.
Just looking for opinions as to which will be the most efficient way to route it. It consists of an In-line pump, with a filter before and after, into a regulator and then to my edelbrock fuel rails. System will be run at 58 psi.
This mounts the regulator next to the pump in the rear. Then the regulated 58psi travels to the passenger side rail, and around to the drivers rail in series. Feed line can enter at front or rear, on either side, that's irrelevant to me. To me this keeps the return fuel from traveling I to the hot engine bay before returning to the tank. Which is definitely good. But the only concern is a drop in PSI to the rail. Obviously this can be checked once built, just a matter of building it right the first time.
Same rear mounted regulator (stock configuration) but the feed line goes to a y block and to the rails in parallel.
Aeromotive was suggesting something more like this. I just don't see the need to tie the rails together in the rear?
This option runs the feed line to the return line mounted in the engine bay. Return line runs all the way back to the tank. Then the rails run in series (could do parallel here as well).
Again, probably overthinking things. Option A Is the leading candidate for simplicity's sake. Just want to hear some others weigh in.
