Returnless fuel sender/level sensor/regulator; use stock?
I'm looking into fuel delivery and it seems like the simplest thing to do would be to use the stock pump/regulator/filter/sender unit. It's got one fuel line and two emissions lines, and I assume one would be a vent and the other blocked off. Here's the one I'm looking at:
Amazon.com: ACDelco MU1657 GM Original Equipment... Has anyone tried running these kinds of units? I'm wondering what it would take to mount these on a tank, I'm looking into something like a blazer tank or a mid-fifties tank like this one: http://www.tanksinc.com/index.cfm/pa...rod/prd114.htm

All of the LS fuel systems have a fuel return into the tank.

You would need a fuel pump adapter kit..

Re: Returnless fuel sender/level sensor/regulator; use stock?
Yes I guess this one does also... but the return is in the tank. In fact, flex fuel pumps have only two lines -- one fuel line and one emissions line so I'm thinking that would be more convenient to use. I don't know about the wiring though, or how they are controlled; I read 62psi on my flex fuel 2005 suburban so it seems that the pressure is in the right range at least.

Re: Returnless fuel sender/level sensor/regulator; use stock?
Found this adapter ring, looks like it will work. I'm not convinced about the utility of this though, since I have no idea what the ohm range of the sender is, and I don't know the flow rate of the stock pumps. I'm sure it would be fine for stock engines though, and you can always replace the in-unit pump with a walbro or whatever.
