Hi, fellow rotary enthusiasts.
I'm directing this question primarily to Rusty, as he has a similar Dave Atkins
fuel system such as I have, but I certaintly welcome comments from any and all.
My
TWM throttle body I purchased from Dave Atkins has two injectors already
installed on the throttle body. It also has the fuel rail, and I have still in
the box, the fuel pressure requlator. I assume that my fuel flow will go
from the tank, through the fuel tank selector valve to the fuel pump, then
through the pressure regulator, to the injectors. My question is.....do I
need to allow a return to the fuel tank for unused or excess fuel? If so,
do I take it from the fuel rail opposite the pressure requlator? I am,
unfortunately, a complete layman when it comes to fuel injection, so please be
gentle on me. I noted that on the injectors that came with my engine,
that the injectors have a small tube protuding 90 degrees from the injector,
which I assume was for the purpose of returning fuel to the tank? Thanks
in advance for everyone who takes the time to educate/enlighten me regarding
the fuel injection system. I sincerely appreciate the help. Paul Conner,

Paul;
The pressure regulator goes downstream
from the fuel rail. It controls the pressure by by-passing fuel back to
the tank; so, yes; you will need a return fuel line. The TWM press
regulator threads right into the downstream end of their fuel rail (at least
mine does). Make sure the o-ring is in place.
