Re: Fuel Rail Question

I'm not sure about the newest vvt trucks, but I'm pretty sure most of the lq4 and lq9 came with return style fuel systems (with the regulator at the rail)

Re: Fuel Rail Question

I know the truck 4.8/5.3's came with return rail until 2003, however the vans are different.

Re: Fuel Rail Question

Is everyone by-passing or getting rid of the regulator in the fuel rail and using the vette filter/reg?

No, only if you have a returnless fuel rail. If you have a fuel rail with a return, just hook the feed line to the 3/8 line and run a return, the 5/16 line to the tank. You then can put a $10 fuel filter between the tank and the fuel rail in the feed line, instead of buying a $40 Corvette fuel filter.

Re: Fuel Rail Question

My '01 6.0L has a regulator on the fuel rail and a return line.
