How's the serenity
Done the return line mod on mine years ago thanks to you fletch . Worth while for sure.
The price of excellence is dicipline , the cost of mediocrity is dissapointment .

All the pumps I have used at work do have a pressure cut out. We use them on small motors mounted on the back of trucks to power auxilary machinery. If you didn't have a cut out in this situation, they could flood the carby which is fairly basic on some of these small motors.

If I were to do this I just want the shopping list ready so I don't get caught out not having the right parts on hand.
Edit : That T at the motor looks to be two different sizes mate. Adapted down to suit the small return line hose. Do you remember what sizes they are?
Hey mate the fuel lines are 3/8 I believe for the main tank feed up, I used about 3.5m total for re-routing the lines at the back for the pump and replacing all the lines at the front. The small hose on the t-piece is the spill line and is 3/16 fuel hose. The return hose that the spill line is teed into is 5/16.
The return and spill lines you will probably only need about a foot or so of hose. I just got all my fittings from enzed in town

More questions. Lol. Would 4mm twin core be sufficient for this pump? I can't seem to find any specs for it. Should I run the pump via a relay you reckon too? I might do this anyway actually. Save adding extra strain on the ignition wiring. My wirring is fubar anyway, I don't want to make it worse.

Yer I ran 4mm twin on mine, through a 15amp fuse off the battery and through a relay triggered off ignition. Ign is available off the wiper motor

Sweet. I was going to use the Aux battery power as its accessible via the back panel and now theres ign power via the wiper. Cool. Ordered the pump, I will get some fittin's ordered tomorrow when I order my shops stock.

Thanks for posting this DIY big fletch. Am going to pluck up the courage to do it sometime in the near future after I install the fuel manager.

I think i will have to add this to list of mods to do,would certainly take a fair bit of strain off of the injector pump

I need of some help...a bit confused. Sorry my English is not the best.
I'm confused on how to re rout the small hose to the return. Can anyone explain in a very simple / plane way?.
Instructions for dummies.

One more thing. I'm also installing a second filter should I put this filter first or after the factory filter?
