Reply With QuoteA bypass is THE ONLY regulator in my opinion. Regardless of the type of pump.
I recently bought a Aeromotive fuel pressure regulator. Is there any reason why a bypass regulator should not be used with a mechanical pump. I was under the assumption that the bypass design was better than the deadhead regulator, thats why i bought it. Now, some have told me that a bypass should not be used with a mechanical pump.

I have pics of my latest system. Do not have image editing software here at the shop. I can e-mail them 2 you if you want. Infomaniac@cox.net
Put the bypas after the carbs and as far away from the pump as possible.
Like this? It returns to my Raycor filter.

Yep that looks great.

Feeding this log with a -10 from the right. A BG bypass regulator and 1/2 return line.

Returning to this BG "Y" . Blue hose is -8 from each tank and braided-10 to the pump. The return is in the top. These "Y" blocks have 1/2 NPT and a 1/8 port in the top. I tap it out to 3/8 NPT for a return. Done it a bunch of times and is my favorite setup.
