Auction gone. Someone use the Buy it Now?
I have been using an Aeromotive regulator for 4 years now. Forget the model number. Supposed to be good for 100psi.

Sorry, that link isn't working. Try this new link which seems to be ok. If it doesn't work, search "Aeromotive billet adjustable EFI Bypass Regulator"

The thing that impresses me is the number and size of the ports, which means being able to feed both heads equal volume and pressure without buying a splitter, which creates more entrained air problems, and I also like the fact that it is designed for a pressure range of 40 to 100 psi. I contacted the seller but he didn't have a clue about diesels.
I'm aware that there are cheaper Aeromotive units available, but cheap isn't always best.
Please let me know what you think-

Yup, that link works. Looks like a nice regulator. Should be fine. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smokin.gif

the regulator is after the head but before the return to the tank. Would not make a difference if it has 1 or 10 holes. It is after the fact. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

The regulator can go before the heads, the factory regulator is before the heads. He can put it anywhere he wants. Looks like a good regulator Clam.
As far as getting any air out, just put some small bleed lines off the other end of the heads with .015 restrictors. Like mine.

The factory system is regulated before the heads but the fuel also is dead headed there. When you change over to a circulating system you will need to put the regulator after the heads. As for the areomotive regulator and there pumps for that matter, the pressure rating is to low for my likeing. Mallory is marketing a regulator that is rated to adjust up to 100psi.

Why would you want to regulate the pressure BEFORE the heads ?

I've talked to Aeromotive, and this is how the reccomend doing it, although I don't agree. They claim that with the small inlet for fuel in the heads, it creates a restriction and the fuel pump will work much harder. The claim that the fuel pressure difference in the lines before the heads and at the regulator (if after the heads) is quite large. I was told by them that if you set the regulator at 65-70 psi, the pressure before the heads is up around 90 psi.
My observations have been no where near that. I have a fuel pressure gauge on the regulator, and another one in the splitter before the heads. There is a difference of about 2 psi, when I'm running 65 psi set on my regulator. This is with the stock fuel bowl gone, using a Y-block to split the fuel to each head. When I had the stock fuel bowl, the pressure in the fuel bowl was about 4-5psi higher than what was at the regulator, running 65 psi at the heads. The fuel bowl was a bit of a restriction there. But, no where near the psi difference that Aeromotive is leading you to believe.
