Fuel Reservoir How To

[camcojb]

This is something that needs testing to prove/disprove. I'd be interested to hear how this works for you. Does the pressure from the low pressure pump act to raise the high side pressure by restricting, by a small amount, the return line from the regulator to the reservoir?
I've always run a return but then, my reservoirs have always been mounted at the rear of the vehicle.
Let us know how this works, if you decide to go this route.

I would not run a bypass line into a pressurized (6-7 psi) tank. I agree, you need to test to prove/disprove, but you really don't want to restrict the return line for any reason. I would add an overflow/return line from the top of the surge tank back to the main tank.

The way my system works is like this, Main tank has the carb pump the pulls it into the 1 gallon surge tank. The surge tank has a GM Tahoe fuel pump bucket assembly with an upgraded walbro. From there I used the gm quick disconnect fittings and send the main feed to the corvette reg. The reg then returns the fuel to the main tank. It works great so far but have only but like 100 miles on it.
