Default Twin Pumps & Lines with one return?

Hey guys,
Putting a turbo'd forged 347 ls6 into my rx7 and was curious what you thought about fuel lines.
Right now the stock car has a 3/8" pressure and return line but I was thinking about adding a 3rd for the return of my dual walbro in tank setup.
Let me know if you have any ideas!
Thanks
Jason

Are you saying you want to add a second return line? If you have a dedicated supply line, and dedicated return line you should be fine.

The only thing you might think about doing is change the supply line to a -8an (or 1/2") line.

would'nt 2 times the lines mean 2 times the chance of something going wrong? If you can stay away from running more lines than you need to.

Yea i guess you're right, Theres no reason to run another small line when I can just run a big one...
Would you suggest running the two pumps into a Y for the one big line?

Yep, that is the way the Lonnies/Racetronix setups work. Both pumps are T'd together in the fuel bucket with one line coming out of the sending unit.

Back to your original question...were you asking about using the two 3/8" lines as supply lines, and a smaller one for a return?

I was originally asking about using the two stock 3/8" lines for supplies and running a new 3/8" line for a return.

Run a bigger feed and either a new return or one of the 3/8 lines as your return.
