Before the reg and as said I have a return that the 01 dose not have. Have not checked the return

 

This thread..... Is one of the "special" threads.

 

Love the mods in here wish one on em knew something

 

At the least check the return line also. My suggestion about the fire extinguisher still stands though...

 

Wow... Really what does this mean?

 

 

Yes it is. Gonna need a raft, the arrogance and BS is getting deep. Lol

 

Ok sorry I will always do as I am told and never question again

 

Well, hmm... I see this a bit differently I guess.

The rail-mounted regulator should hold the pressure well within the limits of the factory fuel lines. That OEM regulator is still in place, working pressure has not changed, assuming I'm reading right.
If that regulator fails, the newer pump ***'y itself is regulated to roughly 50#. Edit: Well, fiddlesticks. I can't type an abbreviation for "assembly" without being assumed naughty lol.
So we're possibly in a better position safety-wise if the rail regulator should fail, being limited to 50 PSI by the new pump assembly instead of whatever pressure the '87 pump could generate before stalling out. Anyone want to plug the return on an 87 pump and see what it can do?
Even the crummy old rubber fuel line we ran in 5# carb days was rated 50# max working pressure with burst strength much higher , surely a fuel injected 87 used something better. Not that it should matter as the system pressure is unchanged from OEM. The lines don't know anything has changed.

That said, I'd still replace any rubber (or neoprene) fuel lines with something better. Reason why? Because they're old. Even at stock pressure, 25 years is beyond their design life.

 

We know enough to remove users like yourself.

First warning.

Many people here with umpteen years of exp. if serious offroad told me something wasnt safe i would listen.

 

Thanks somebody thinking Just can't figure where the presser would come from with the pump self regulated to 50 psi. I was worried the pis would drop to much at shut off but takes 30+ minuets to drop 20 psi. I was gonna just run this for a quick fix to get to the mud hole but now I think I'll just leave it...

 

Even guys with years of knolage can learn something new. I was concerned about the difference in presser enough to ask and almost didn't try based on the info I was given

 

And as a heads up.
I was referring as a special thread due to the many people giving you wrong info

 

Thanks for that I'll admit I stepped in it and gained the wrong attention

 

This is really unfair. You asked something like "Tell me why I can't do something".

Firstly, that kind of question is ridiculous. You can do anything you want. People responded assuming your bad question was really "Should I do this..." so they gave you their advice. Most of us, unless we keep $100 bills in their front pockets, wouldn't swap a tank with the pump in the top instead of the side mounted style, pay more for the assembly the has the regulator combined etc etc. If this was junkyard wars, that's fine but people are giving you advice based on what they would do. Most of us on here ask questions before we start a job or if we are looking at parts for sale etc so we don't make a bad situation worse. Who knows what your technical ability is, if you have a pressure gauge to measure it, have you done it before etc.

You can put the tank on the front bumper or inside the cab if you want. Do whatever you want.

Secondly, a "Sorry" never hurts either.
