Corvette filter issues?
Greetings everyone.
I'm using a Walbro 255lph pump, with a large canister pre-filter, and just converted from a conventional (race style) regulator to the Corvette (GF822) filter/regulator. The issue I'm having is the pump is getting real hot. After a few minutes, you can't even hold your hand on it. I removed the return line to check for fuel, and when the pump is running there isn't any fuel going back to the tank. The pump is working because the I can hear it and the LS1 motor runs fine. I checked for restrictions in the return line and its clear ( I can blow thru it with ease). The pump is probably getting hot from not moving the fuel.
I have a 3/8" line going into the 3/8" port on the filter, and a 5/16" return. The other end of the pump is marked "output" so thats going towards the LS1 motor. I don't think the pre-filter is an issue as it was fine before changing out to the Corvette filter/regulator.
Could the filter/regulator be a dud? Probably not common, but has anyone had this before with a new filter/regulator?

I used an AC Delco filter.
Didn't check pressure at the rails yet, but when I relieved it, it blasted more than I've seen in the past.
I ordered a new filter from NAPA, and will give that a try.
Thanks everybody!
