      Quick FPR Question

      Is there a difference between a return style regulator, and a bypass style?

      If so, please explain.

      (reason I ask, looking to run an EFI pump on a carburetor)

      Thanks,
      Nick

      I consider them the same, but there are specific regulators for the efi pumps on carbs. Reason being, a normal efi return or bypass regulator cannot get the pressure down low enough to use on a carb (say 6-7 psi). Companies like Aeromotive make specific ones to do that and they work great, but I tried a standard EFI regulator and it did not work...............
