Hey, one more question - The Weber came with an adjustable
fuel pressure regulator, should I use it or just let the return line
handle the pressure? I'm thinking I should still use it, I hear the
Weber doesn't like higher pressure (although a stock pump
is probably not very high)

Re: Weber question
Someone posted a good link the other day on how to set up the Weber. I
saved it, if you would like I can post it again.

Re: Weber question
I was told the stock fuel filter regulates the pressure to around 5
psi. This is a bit high for the Weber for some folks.
The pressure is controlled by the size of the hole in the filter's
return line nipple. It is a metered hole that could be drilled out to
lower the pressure.
But if you have the regulator, then I would put it in.
