Default Deleting a stock FPR

Does anybody know how do "delete" a stock FPR mounted on the stock rails? This is a 2000 GMC Truck- 6.0L so it is a return type. I am looking to add an aftermarket (magnafuel) boost referenced FPR on my return line and don't want the stock FPR to regulate the fuel before it gets to my adjustable FPR. I am running the stock rails, feed and return with 2 walbro's in the tank one set on a hobbs switch. Any input is appreciated.

There are adjustable, vacuum referenced Bosch style regulators out there if you're trying to keep your stock fuel rails... otherwise, maybe you can replace it with a gutted pulse dampener or simply gut your stock FPR? Lingenfelter also has these plugs. I have no idea how they would work though.

To the OP..


I'm not sure if the truck tanks/rails are the same as F-bodies... but the regulator is actually inside the tank on the sending unit.. It has to be removed to be eliminated

Yes, they do, but how much? Just the front so fuel doesn't spill all over the intake manifold? Or does it completely cut off the circulation (via the cross-over) that a stock f-body fuel rail needs? Unfortunately the pics don't answer that for me. Would you happen to know? It seems like you may be very familiar with Lingenfelter's product!
