Looking to mount a fuel pressure regulator near the stock tank and run the return back into the tank. What regulator is everyone using that has the returnless systems used in the 99.5-01 Explorer? Also what frame mounted fuel pump are you using? I found a pressure regulator/filter combo from Holley that is set at a fixed pressure of 59.5 PSI. Is that too low? https://www.summitracing.com/parts/hly-162-590

I've been running that same unit for years, have 2 vehicles with it. It does need to be mounted near the tank, it will heat soak and vapor lock if mounted to the fuel rail.

Did you modify the stock bronco 13 gallon tank to accept the explorer pump or did you use a different tank?

I used a Tanks Inc PA-2 along with the Explorer stock pump & regulator...in an old 23 gallon tank. haven't fired it up yet though.

C5 Corvette fuel filter. Has the pressure regulator built in. Pretty common for EFI swaps that run the higher pressure (59PSI).

i have an aftermarket 23 gallon tank. had to cut hole in top of tank and extend the pump hanger to reach the bottom. had room on top since i had a body lift.
