Default Fuel Lines

Guys
Did I read that GM stopped useing two fuel lines after 98? I thought my motor was a 99, I pulled it from the car,but,it has two fuel lines at the engine. This being the case, is the fuel regulator at the fuel rails? So,if I am useing a in line pump, I can go from the pump to the fuel rails and use the return off the rails to get the fuel back to the tank. What in-line pump are most of you useing?
Thanks,David

GM used dual line rails in 97-98 on vettes and from 99 to ??? on the trucks. F-Bodys always had single line rails and I believe GTO`s and caddys were always single line too.

If you have a dual line rail then the regulator is on the rail and you can plumb the pump direct to the rail and then the return port of the rail back to the tank.

I`m using an internal pump, so I can`t really help with this ?

Make sure you are not mistaking the vacuum vent line for a second fuel line. Only one of those lines is a fuel line

walbro 255 pumps work well. The inline version uses two barbed fittings, or you can get adapters to make it thread right in -6AN line.

Guys
Would the vent line go all the way back to the tank? On the doner car there were two hard lines going to the motor from the tank.
Thanks,David

Hey guys, I have the same question, but for a b-body ss impala. There are two fuel lines going to the manifold. I am not sure which is either a vent line or the fuel line. With that being said, when I add my FAST fuel rails&injectors on my LS1, which fuel line (the 2 lines on the vehicle) do I hook up to supply fuel to the motor on the new rails?

Both, the larger 3/8" line on the car is the supply line and the smaller line is the return. You will need to put a fuel pressure regulator in so that you can regulate the fuel pressure.
