Anyone sell a fuel return setup Does anyone sell or have a parts list of all the pieces required to run a boost regulator and return system? I'm looking for a kit or parts list that would use the existing line as a return.
Also some instructions on how to plumb the fittings especially the top of the tank.

I pieced mine together myself...actually getting ready to redo most of it because I used CPE stainless braided hose, but should have used PTFE braided line instead (to reduce the fumes). It isn't too hard to do, but depending on which fittings you use, it can be very expensive for relatively minimal return (no pun intended).

It really depends on what brands you go with...for the push connect fittings, I went with Aeromotive since IMO they are easy to work with and are easier to connect/disconnect than the ones I've tried from Russell, but are more than twice the price.
For example, for the 3/8" hard line, I used an Aeromotive 15118 (~$37 ea.), but you also have to buy another fitting to convert it back to standard -8AN (or -6AN if you so prefer), which is an Aeromotive 15607 (-8 straight cut o-ring boss to -8AN) at around $13 each. So ~$50 for each of those, and I have 4 in the back (two on top of the tank for feed/return, one going into the fuel filter, one coming off the EVAP hard line that I use as my return) and 2 up front (one for the 3/8" feed line, and one for the 5/16" EVAP). Then add in all of the other **** (like 90* couplers for clearance and all of the misc. fittings for aftermarket fuel rails), and it really adds up.
You can go a little cheaper on some of it, but if you go with the stainless braided line, you really need to use the PTFE stuff, and it isn't cheap to do. Plus I don't get to reuse any of my hose end fittings since the PTFE line takes a different style of fitting than the synthetic rubber braided line I originally used.
Not bitter or anything.
