Default What would cause the vette filter/reg. to blow?

I was having issues with my conversion running because My fuel rail was only getting 35 psi and the return line was shooting all the fuel back to the tank.I cut apart the filter and found a blown seal at the return port.Was this bad luck or is my walbro 255 100psi pump to strong for this style of filter?.(aftermarket)
Thanks for any input.

My Vette filter has worked fine with my Racetronix 255lph pump for several thousand miles with no problems. I'd try to get wouever you bought it from to replace it as defective.

Was this a real Delco filter/regulator or a Wix?
