[QUOTE="Black306, post: 7644564, member: 4780"] As I expected, the blow off valve in the PPRV does nothing to protect the FRPS, its the small hole in the small nipple that does it. Unfortunately, I haven't found an easy way to install 2 PPRVs yet. The stock-like hose is surprisingly hard to find in 3" and 5" lengths. Even if I find it, I think the size difference between the fittings (pumps and hat are 5/16" while the PPRV and stock "Y" fitting are 3/8") is going to pose a problem when installing the hose. I'm assuming that the stock hoses were designed for 5/16" fittings, cause I can find the same hose 8" and longer, and they are designed for 5/16" fittings. With the stock hose you (sweet88gt) sent me, I tried installing the uncut ends onto a 3/8" fitting.....no luck. How the factory did it, I'm not sure. Since the hose is significantly stretched over the 3/8" fittings, I'm guessing that's why there are no clamps; the hoses hold on by themselves. I tried the same thing with 5/16" 30R10 hose onto a 3/8" fitting.....without a clamp, I couldn't blow it off with 100+psi of pressure and I couldn't even pull off the hose with my hands.

If we can find a supplier for 3"/5" corrugated fuel line that will work with the 5/16" and 3/8" fittings, we'll be in business. Right now, my plan is to actually go with a Fore hat and possibly a combo of a check valve and Aeromotive FPR. With the stock hat, I don't like the idea that Gates hose start to bend due to the tight radii. I also used steel hardline for the bends, but even the hardline begins to kink.
