will this hose/regulator routing work?
I'm switching over to a return system and I'd like to mount the regulator on the rail. I think this way will work but I want to be sure before I do it. I'll run a T fitting on the back of the driver side rail with the feed line going there and another line going to the other rail, then I'll mount the regulator on the front of the driver side rail and another "T" on the front of the pass. rail with a FP sensor on one side and the other side will have a line that runs into the other inlet of the reg. Does that sound like it will work ok?

It would probably work, but I'd be leary of having a t-fitting before the rails have been fed...from everything I've gathered, t-fittings don't work all that well with high pressure/high flow fuel systems. I don't have any hard data to back that up, so it is purely internet conjecture, but I have a feeling that's why you see a lot of people using a y-fitting if they are going to feed the rails in parallel.

Yeah I was worried about that. I'm hoping that the pump can move enough fuel to keep both of the rails fed with this setup. I guess if I'm going to run a T I could at least run it between the rails instead of mounted to one, probably get a more even flow that way. Since I already have these fittings (free) I'm going to see how it does. I'm planning to do several logs with the wideband on each bank so I will know if one side is starving.

I hope to be putting it together sometime next week so I'll figure something out by then.

Only reason I want it on the rail is because I think it looks cleaner that way. And yeah, the pressure sensor is going on the regulator now. Thanks for the input guys.
