DIY RRFPR

[05Limited]

Took a little to much time planning it, but the next one should take all of 30 minutes to assemble. The connector from the regulator to the OEM fuel pump is nothing more than a 2" long, 1/8" NPT brass nipple. The OEM fuel return chamber was blocked off with a fender washer and held in place with some sealant and slight pressure from the "screwed down" regulator. The only down side is having to drill and tap the OEM fuel pressure orifice for the 1/8" nipple... you can't go back to stock!

Sticky ! Awesome

Do you have a pic of it before it was pushed in place?
Like how it attaches to the tank/sending unit?

Now that the time consuming planning portion is behind me, I'm going to go buy the parts for a second one tomorrow. I'll take pics of the needed items and also pics of the alterations needed to assemble it.

Thanks for sharing and look forward to your install picks.

Nice, clean install.

OK, here is a list of parts:

1. 2" long, 1/8" NPT brass nipple
2. 1/8" NPT brass Tee
3. 1/8" NPT x 3/8" hose barb, 90 degree, 2 each
4. 2" diameter, 3/8" fender washer
5. M4 fasteners and washers, 2 each (for mounting bracket)
6. Regulator kit (there are a few sources on ebay)
- - http://motors.shop.ebay.com/merchant...ckdistributing
- - kit includes straight barbs, hose clamps, fuel line, mounting bracket

I set up my second pump for a remote regulator (last picture) but the procedure is basically the same. If you are mounting the RRFPR to the pump you should probably alter the mounting bracket that came with the kit and use it to keep the regulator from turning (see pics). Here is the procedure:

1. Drill out pump orifice with 21/64" bit
2. Drill a 21/64" fuel return line hole next to the "arrow" on the pump
3. Tap pump orifice hole and fuel return line hole with 1/8" NPT tap
4. Install 2" brass nipple
5. Install 2" fender washer over nipple (a little silicone if you wish)
6. Remove pressure gauge from RRFPR
7. Remove 4 allen head bolts from RRFPR and separate housing halves
8. Screw bowl half of RRFPR onto 2" nipple (note mounting bracket holes)
9. Install 90 degree hose barb for fuel return line (hole next to arrow)
10. Reassemble RRFPR (ensure halves are rotated to match picture)
11. Alter bracket (per picture) and install, secure bracket to pump
12. Install 1/8" brass Tee, 1/8" straight hose barb, and pressure gauge
13. Install 90 degree hose barb to bottom of RRFPR bowl
14. Attach short fuel return line between 90 degree hose barbs

I think that is it! Here are a few notes on the assembly:

* Test fit everything prior to adding any sealer, silicone or teflon tape.
* Use your 1/8" NPT tap to adjust depth and position of fittings and housing.
* Drill return hole precisely (between the webbing under the "arrow").
* The RRFPR halves can be rotated... and the internals are quite simple.

Three more. The last one shows the remote RRFPR set-up:

WOW!! Great work!! You are a weath of knowledge!! I have been wanting a Rude, but didnt want to spend all the extra on RRFPR too. How much did this cost you to do? I like the remote mount idea for easy access.
