This is completely possible as until I installed the bed cover the tank was out in the open

Thanks again brother!!! Now I just need to find some larger injectors and Im set!!

Yea Im kinda worried about the whole sucking the basket dry thing since I already have to keep at least a half tank to keep from happening. I may have to go to a custom tank at some point. As far as the E85, Im gonna have to find some larger injectors. Im already having to short shift at 5800 cause the injectors are over 100% duty cycle.And thats just on 10% fuel.

Alright people I got more issues. I got the Walbro 450 installed and I think its overpowering the corvette regulator. Im getting 78psi at the rail now! Truck idles fine but the longer I drive it the more its starts missing so Im thinking its getting too much fuel. I didnt have my wideband installed to confirm this but with that much fuel pressure at the rail Im sure its getting too much fuel. Has anyone else had this problem with the big walbro pumps?

What you could do is use the Corvette style Filter/regulator and it will cut down the pressure going to the rails.
I'm going to guess that if you keep running it the way it is you will destroy your injectors! and may possibly cause one to "piss fuel" into the cylinder and therefor cause it to blow when ignited and ruin a rod or piston.
A friend of mine had a similar issue and destroyed 2 motors because it was "pissing" into the cylinders.
Just my 2 cents.

The part # for the filter is from Oreillys 33737 from micro guard for $20.00

Thank you for that part# but I'm already running the corvette filter/regulator. If I find out I need a new one I'll definitely get that one though cause the last one cost me $35..

He is already running a vette filter/regulator in his system. You can see it in the 5th picture in post #225.

He may need to add a regular just before the rail. I would probable remove the vette filter/regulator and put a regulator neat the rail and a return hose from there.

We run the 450 pump to a set of stock truck return style rails with the regulator as part of the rail and have not issues with pressure at the rail.

After researching I'm seeing others have had this same issue with the walbro 450 with a vette fuel system. Some have solved it by enlarging the return but my return is -6 just like my inlet so I don't know where to go from there. I wouldn't mind trying the return style system but that would require buying more fuel line and a different set of fuel rails. I think I'm gonna stick the stock pump back in and if the pressure goes back to normal I'll just run it that way until I can afford to replace the vette piece with an adjustable regulator and filter. That way I can mount that setup next to the tank and not have to buy more fittings or fuel lines. Don't know if I mentioned it but the company I work for recently cut my pay by over $1000 per month so until I find a new job I can't afford to buy anything else so I'm trying to work with stuff I already have right now.

[aggie91]

Dang, sorry to hear about your job. That's a tough blow.

Hope everything works out for you.

another video update. https://youtu.be/MVi3qLSjBnw?list=PL...JHsUAX-dOyZH-i

Until I can get a stable picture hosting site it looks like Im just going to start documenting my progress on my you tube channel. I cant get photobucket to work and my trial is up on image shack. If anyone knows of any free image hosting sites that arent just 30 day trials let me know, otherwise I guess Im finished posting pictures.

Mark..

what site are you referring to? Because this site wont let me upload pics to my thread, it works by links only.

[reaper71]

This site and several others I belong to all have the same process.

Start by going to the bottom of the (post reply) box click on (go advanced)Then scroll down to the box (manage attachments) and click on that, another box will open this is where you (choose file) that will bring up your files on your PC, select your pic and click on (upload) it is faster going one pic at a time.

Hope this helps, if you have any issues just PM me and I'll help you out.
