di reg return question

Tncoalroller88 · Dec 30, 2012

Just installed me new di regulated return kit last night and thought everything was good with it but today I'm driving g n my clutch starts slipping n I think wtf so I look and sure enough the lil brass cap on the fuel bowl that blocks the old return is pouring . I used pipe dope but still it leaks. Was I supposed to put a fuel sleeve in it and did I have to leave the guts inside it xuz I took the plunger n spirit g out . Any help is appreciated

Use yellow teflon tape on it.

Mine has no guts, I have a short piece of hose, stuck a piece of steel rod in the other end and a couple hose clamps.

My pressure is set to 65 lbs.

You really need to learn how to type... Did you over tighten the fitting?

No you just type like a 13 year old girl text. Did you over tighten it and crack/strip it?

Like i say i have been on a phone, and no its not stripped i replaced the whole shebang my buddy had a spare fpr so i put the brass nut some teflon tape and gasolia pipe dope on it and tightened er up. Got that part of the puzzle fixed n started wiggling some lines n also found one of the an fittings a bit loose also so i tightend it up too now maybe with a little luck the ole whore will stop wasting my fuel. I just really hope this hasnt ruined my clutch.Thanks all for the help n quick responces.. maybe my typing will meet standards on here one day too, when the english sesson begins ill be the first in there since its so important to some on here

Still holdin pressure? I didn't put anything but pipe dope on mine, but the lines coming off the bowl did loosen up making an enormous mess

Tncoalroller88 · Jan 16, 2013

Thats what mind ended up doing one the same thing so I just deleted the fuel bowl

I started mine, at 10 pm thinking I could have it done in 2 hours, bout 130 am I got it done. Used dope, brass cap leaked
, tightened it litterally 1/8 of a turn and felt it give, stripped it out, didn't have another one on our spare motors , 45$ part from ford and is a dick to change out. Stuffs in the way.. I replaced with Teflon tape and problems solved.
