Posted March 27, 200915 yr comment_278949 from searching these the setups I have found so far. setup 1- filter > FPR > inline,but no return fuel line. setup 2- filter > FPR > inline with return fuel line(i read some where that this can go in in reverse flow too) setup 3- filter > FPR > 3way splitter with no return line setup 4- uses stock rails flow in from rail>FPR than other return line. which setup is best for a l28, electric pump, filter between tank and pump, filter between pump and FPR or if you have better suggestion on fuel line setup that i did not illustrate id like to hear it Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/31317-whats-the-ideal-fuel-line-setup-for-triple-carbs/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

March 27, 200915 yr comment_278957 I'm running filter (Holley 100 micron), pump, regulator, filter (OEM), carbs (in line w/#2 set-up) and return.No issues after 25,000 miles of very hard driving.

March 27, 200915 yr comment_278962 The "best" set up is #2 because it has a return line. This keeps the gas flowing through the lines and therefore at a more steady temperature, which is normally cooler.The second best would be #4 - if you can get a good fuel pressure regulator between the pump and the fuel feed line.#3 Could also be used - "IF" you have it connected to a fuel distribution block, preceded by a good fuel pressure regulator.Just make sure that your return line is a size smaller than the feed - to maintain consistent pressure at the carb.'s.FWIWCarl B.

March 27, 200915 yr comment_278965 I'm closest to figure two. I have a fuel cell mounted in my trunk with two Holley filters going into a Holley elec. fuel pump, the fuel line than goes to my holley regulator mounted on my drivers side fender well. I than have two lines from my regulator , one goes to my #1 carb, the other goes to my #3 with fuel line from each going to middle carb. I have no return.

March 28, 200915 yr Author comment_279027 cool seems like setup 2 is the most recommended. thanks for the info. there was so many options and every one said there cars ran good. but... just because it runs doesnt means it the best setup.

March 28, 200915 yr comment_279051 The photos show setup 2 utilizing the original fuel rail brackets with a vacuum line and canister purge to the balance tube.

March 30, 200915 yr comment_279237 I would suggest #2 ish.Tank => filter => pump => filter => carbs => FPR => return Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/31317-whats-the-ideal-fuel-line-setup-for-triple-carbs/#findComment-279237 Share on other sites More sharing options...
March 31, 200915 yr comment_279365 I have twin mikuni 44's in my 510. I am running a low pressure Carter electric fuel pump near the tank. Aeroquip 6 stainless line with anodized fitting. It goes from pump to a Holley low pressure regulator. From there the single line goes to a Y distribution block with a fuel pressure gauge. Then one line to each carb. How would I do a return in this system? Could I use the older small hard line that was the feed as the return? I am just unsure the best way to plumb it into the system. I like that system you have fixitman. With the fuel rail. Very clean!!! Any photos of the whole car?

But you can see about 40 photos at my Members Gallery taken during the restoration process. A few photos are seen belwo.
