Plumbing check valve inline...

Turboculosis · 03-26-2003, 02:57 AM

I just got my A/motive check valve.Now my question is:Can I place it directly on the outlet port of the A/motive pump using a 3/4" male pipe nipple from Earl's. Here's a pic. [url=http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=34639]
Unfortunately the previous owner plumbed and fitted the fuel lines without provisions for an inline check valve.

Or will it be better if I plumb it on the inlet side of the 2nd inline A/motive filter before the fuel rail.I figured I could possibly avoid having to cut the braided fuel lines and install 2 new female hose ends to accomidate the check valve.Just as long as the check valve was somewhere inline between the pump and the regulator. Please correct me if I'm wrong..TIA

If Cal H (Highpsi) or Chuck Leeper (Ol Buzzard) don't answer this one, drop them a line. They do this type of stuff all the time.

Thanks Steve,Chuck Leeper has told me what I need to do.FWIW He said it would be fine if I plumb the check valve at the outlet port of the Aeromotive pump with the correct O-rings on the pump side and check valve side of the male -10AN fitting.
