[T3] fuel pump output

[Daniel K. Du Vall]

On modern cars they use a regulator down stream on the return side to
regulate the pressure and flow to the injectors. Would not this be a
better idea for the FI y'all use on your type3s than a check valve which
would only prevent flow in the wrong direction?

If it was not a check valve ( designed to prevent back flow ) but a  
valve that operated with positive pressure on the back ( after the  
valve ) side. If it closed when pressure dropped below a certain level  
maintaining a positive pressure ( say 28 psi) on the after side, then  
might it work? I'm not sure such an animal exists.

I don't see how a check valve can possibly have any effect while the
pump is running.
