I run all Aeromotive fuel systems on my big HP engines or a belt driven mechanical fuel pump such as a BG or Ron's . Both using returns.

I've got 1100hp PSI supercharged motors in my 38 Cigarette. Each of my 2 tanks has a -12 (3/4") hose that feeds my fuel filter. I then "T" with one leg, in -10 (1/2"), going to a modified mechanical pump on the motor and continuing to the fuel log with -10. The other leg of the "T" goes to a Weldon electric pump, activated by boost pressure (4 lbs.), with -10 hose going to a one way valve @ the fuel log.
I have a return pressure regulator @ the fuel log to return fuel to the tank, that is -10 hose.
This system works very well in that if you are cruising and not in boost, the el. pump is not running. I've run this combination for 4 years with no trouble.
