So, you guys know I've just started driving my ls swap Volvo. I'm guessing it's been driven a total of 100 miles since I first started it. I smelled heavy gas this morning after a drive with a new tune. Pic tells the story. I'm really glad I didn't have a fire with it being over the header.

I didn't expect the fuel line to be anything special, coming from amazon. But, evil energy seems to be pretty popular for that stuff. Now to figure out the next thing to do. What have you guys had success with that's easy to plumb? Time to not skimp.

This is the kit i bought. Now I see the same issue in the reviews.

Damn, that’s a heavy duty fuel pump pushing 1305 psi😲
 
Hard to beat Fragola. More importantly is the fittings and hose being the same brand. You are guaranteed good fitment that way.
My Ranger is plumbed with hard lines (pressure/return) on the frame rails up to the engine up front and to the cell out back. Small run of Fragola connecting them to the rail and cell.
 
Fragola
Just dont give motion raceworks your money. lots of other places to get it

On the same topic, I’m I. The market for a regulator, currently the corvette filter reg bought from ict billet, but my fuel pressure reads low (I also replaced the Amazon sensor with one from low dollar motorsports) and the 58 psi has been reading in the 30s on my ecu.

Looking at tanks inc about 145 on summit, snyone with experience with a regulator for efi that’s cheaper than the aeromotives?

I'm running a corvette one from auto zone. It's ruining 58psi on my gauge. That's all I know.

just horrible lazy customer service with *one* of the sales reps I tried to work with
When I emailed Doug, the owner, about what was going on - got zero response. But the lazy rep did send a email with subliminal confirmation it made it to the head shed, and even then the dealings after that were still half assed.

One day when the Panty Soaker is finished and I hit the drag strips, Im gunna get a huge decal "proudly NOT sponsored by motion raceworks"

While they do make some things in house, they also do have a few items from china that they very dishonestly try to hide and pretend they make it

Im a huge advocate for honesty, especially in business

Ill get a customer call "I want to buy your XYZ system" and ill say something like "I dont want to sell you our XYZ system, until we talk about your issues and needs, and make sure it is a good fit for you"
And many other transparent communications
Honest truthful business communications for a sale is like shooting fish in a barrel

Don't change anything.
Just get a Wix 33737. A real one.
It's very hard to know if you're buying a real one online so it's one of the few things I will make a point to buy from a parts store. Most of the time you have to ask for them to order it, because they try to sell you their crappy discount brand replacements. I know Oreillys will do it.
I know for sure ICT sells a shitty copy from China.

Aeromotive is the gold standard and I have seen many issues when using shitty-er ones.
