Default Return fuel lines

Hey guys,

Ive got a project that is using an Ls1 with the LQ4 intake. The intake has the return line for the tank. I was planning on uning the MSD in line fuel pump with the regulator/ filter.

What are my options?

I would like to run only one line from the tank, since the Jet boat was set up for a carb and only has 1 line teed to 2 tanks.

How would this be plumbed?

Ive got an 1999 truck ECM for this project.

Find a newer year truck fuel rail and bolt it on. That's how I did mine.

The newer ones (2004+ I think) were regulated in the tank so they don't require a return line from the rails. They'll bolt on, no problem. Check the classified... people are almost giving them away.

If I changed the fuel rail and used an inline pump with no return line, would the pump just deadhead into the lines?

Yes, your inline regulator will return to the tank and the fuel will just end at the injectors.
