MFI electric fuel pump lines
In the process of going from Webers back to MFI I have had several issues. The most current and hopefully the last one is hooking up lines from the electric fuel pump to the (supply), to engine (delivery), and return.
I have a rebuilt/new pump from Fuel Injection Corp. When I hook it up the return line is actually supplying fuel to the engine. Not sure why or if that is a problem. Any thoughts (other than calling the remanufacturer)? Does it really matter since fuel is going to the engine bay? Thanks, Matthew One of these days I may go back to the ease of working on old BMWs...

Really? You have a rebuilt pump that's providing pressurised fuel out the return line? (The outlet closest to the electrical terminal by the relief valve assembly) The pressure feed is the middle outlet, fuel only flows from the relief outlet when the pressure outlet is blocked, although often there is a dribble of fuel from the relief outlet, which is normal.
The fuel lines need to be like the following diagram, no exceptions.

Had a similar thing with a rebuild pump, one outlet (the middle one) was a dead-end. Apparently some fault in manufacturing.
