Default Aeromotive Regulator return line question- loose?

Hi guys. I installed a 13106 on my 92 y body ltx setup. It's leaking a little from the return line and have a few questions.


First, the return line doesn't line up when in the original position. No big deal since the instructions mention that it may not and the kit includes a clamp to relocate it. However....

The area where the return line plugs into the regulator and is secured with a nut has my attention. When I push the return line into the regulator, there is still some play in the return line even with the nut cranked down. I would say that there might be another 1/8" at most that I can tighten down the nut, but there is about 1/4" or more of play in the line.

Has anyone had this type of issue or am I missing something? I emailed aeromotive yesterday but haven't heard back yet. Here is some video showing the play in the return line, even with the nut cranked down.


Is this normal?

Years ago the Aeromotive was known for leaking and burned a few cars down, thought they had it fixed, long ago.

Correct, 14 psi of vortech ysi.

The stock one worked fine until I went to a bigger pump, walbro 450

Got it fixed. Tightened down the 4 Allen bolts that sandwich the diagram.
