Line routing to lines and FPR I am looking at 2 options. Please provide your input as to which is best/safest (Aeriomotive regulartor)
-8 line from pumps to engine bay
From there:
a: split into 2 lines via a Y block and feed the front of each rail
At rear of fuel lines plumb to both inlets of the regulator, then use bottom port for return.
b: feed back of one fuel line, connect the fronts together, exit out the back of line 2 to one port of the regulator. (Of course I would block the second inlet port)
Second question:
My fuel lines are set up for 3/8 pipe threads, and currently use -6 fittings. I don't mind changing them based on your input.
If I go with option a and split the main -8 feed line, should I go -8 to 2 -8s, or -8 to 2 -6s. (Aeromotive makes 2 blocks)
Same goes for the regulator. The current fittings I have go from the -10 inlets to -8s. SHould they be -6s?
(I can return the stuff I bought and exchange it no problem.)
Thanks

use -6 out of the bottom to return to the tank.
If you run -10 from the pumps, split them to 2 -8's then still run -6an back to the tank.
