The dead head system I referred to when I started this thread is what Jody describes and has been used by others when building a new FI system. In that definition the dead-head or stop point is at one of the fuel rails. A more decriptive term probably would be a series system that dead heads at the rails (and bypasses at the regulator).

I suppose we could go with tank-based bypass and rail-based bypass. That's a TBB and an RBB where I work. We have lots of TLAs (three letter acronyms).

I like that John. It's settled then, it is a RBB. yea.

Oops, my bust. I was thinking of it being dead headed at the engine, like a mechanical pump for a carb, the regulator at the fuel rails in my case. LOL Guess I have to get in tune with the terminology. Solly, I missed that point :) JR

I still refer to engines as "motors", so what do I know...................... :rofl:

Jody

Heck, I call them air pumps sometimes . . .

Haa. I know, I would rather call it like I grew up with, motor, but sure as snot Ill get an electrical engineer slappin my hand tellin me motors are electrical. Oh, no Sh*t, but they are motors for me, ever since dad showed me all about motors (engines). He called them motors and thats what they are. Heck, they are MOTOR vehicles under the current laws so thats good enough for me. Motor is what they are :) And for the picky, no need to correct anyone, we all know what is being said. Motor on!!! JR

Here's a picture of my new Brown & Miller fuel hoses. Expensive ($100) for the both of them, but not outrageous. Add up the cost of Earl's swivel-fit ano-tuff fittings and the the Brown & Miller stuff is about 10% more.

Of course, you can get any color fittings you want as long as it's blue and gold. :rofl:

They are rated forever on pump gas, and have NO gas smell.

Great shot, John. Love all that detail.
