Thanks again everyone for the pointers.
with the vaporworx system you need to replace the regulator with a 4th gen one AND use the adapter at the same time.

You also really need to pinch the crap out of that retainer clip so it doesn't slip off. I had the exact same issue as RocketRod did.

My assumption is the regulator is the 4th gen since the adapter was in place. I bought the whole tank setup through MCB. Sorry for leaving some of the info out. That clip you're referring to was a pain when I reinstalled the regulator though. Hector from Rick's also told me to take a look at the harness to the pump as he did have one customer with a defective harness.

Default Update

Minor Update. Did a fuel pressure check and found I was only getting 20 psi to the fuel rails. Also does not hold fuel pressure when shutting off the truck. Looks like it's pointing to an internal leak in the gas tank as the lines are not leaking from the tank to the fuel rail. I'll take a look at the regulator once I drop the tank. Is the anything else I should look at other than the regulator and fuel pickup lines?

I dropped the tank and found that the fuel is leaking pass the o-rings on the regulator. Will I be able to pick up the o-rings at the parts store?
