I have become aware of a problem with the factory set up of the pc system. After speaking with aeromotive (the maker of the fuel pump) for the efi kits, DO NOT! return your fuel from the regulator to the T fitting on the inlet side of the pump. Instead return it back to the fuel fill line to your tank. If you don't this will cause cavitation in the pump and cause pump failer. Also if you are using the A1000 pump the (red one) contact aeromotive. the alcohol in the gas is desolving the epoxy that holds the magnets on the pump motor. the magnets can come loose and seize the pump, also the peices of epoxy can plug your injectors.

Also be aware that the tech department from ProCharger has given out wrong information on many occassions. http://www.checkmate-boats.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_mad.gif Although, the above information is correct.

Pro Charger or not, you should never run alcohol based fuel in your boat!

Here is my take to fuel returns. If you can dont trurn it to a fuel line. tru to get it back to the tank. I used the vent linewith a check valve and a tee near the tank. worked great.
