Default Basic fuel system installed finally.

I didn’t go nuts...didn’t even do dual pumps. All -6 PTFE stainless with Summit AN fittings. I probably have $1000 in it including the DW400 pump and Fore check valve. Came out the top with bulkhead fittings, reused my check valve then plumbed it for a simple loop through the rails. In on the driver front, loop across the back and out the passenger side front to the regulator. The reason I did that, and left the Whipple supplied hose connecting the rails in the back is with a Whipple you have to remove the blower to remove or replace the passenger side rear fitting and I just wasn’t that motivated. -6 and a single pump is all the fuel I’ll ever need. I just wanted better control over the pressure of that pump.
A couple of things to note...with the regulator mounted where it is I can hear it clicking inside if the radio is off...they all pulsate but I didn’t think it would make it through the firewall. I may move it...I may not.
Also...when you pull the basket out of the tank you’ll see a hose just laying in the bottom. When you reinstall everything make damn sure that hose is on the inboard side of the basket. If it’s on the outboard side the damn thing can slide right under the float for the level sensor....and tell you you’re 40 miles to empty as you coast into a gas station with the truck running out of gas. You can also put 24.3 gallons of fuel into that 23 gallon tank. Don’t ask me how I know. lol

Looks good! Is this in preparation for E85 or more boost or all of the above?

Nah...just wanted control of the fuel pressure with that pump and it’s impossible without adding a return.
