holley blue bypass
hi guys, i installed my holley blue last night worked fine other than one problem. i cut the power to the holley to see if the stock pump would pull through it and it dont. my fuel pressure drops to 0. my stock lift pump idles at 15 and 3-5 at wot so i think my pump is ok. i would like to build a bypass around the holley blue just incase it dies i can still run the truck to where i can work on it. ive talked to numerous people today about a bypass line some say no check vaulve is needed in the bypass to keep the holley from pushing fuel back into the tank. some say you need a check vaulve in the bypass line. what do you all think about these ideas.
thanks all mooseman,
thanks all mooseman,

If you get a line on a good check valve please post it. I have a prototype that I made but I know there must be a cheaper one out there. My design is pretty cool but not cheap to make. It is however pretty much bomb proof.

Well, if the stock lift pump won't suck through the holley, the holley should also make a good check valve, right?
Maybe take it off and try blowing through it backwards?
If nothing more, you could carry some vise grips in your truck to pinch the line incase you had to.

I needed a check valve for my Charger, dual fuel systems and I was concerned about the same thing, there are only two that I could find, the one I bought is from swagelok, 316 stainless with a viton O-ring. I don't remember who made the other one.

raften, i found a check vaulve at a local hydraulic store (30.00). it is designed specifically for diesel fuel systems. it should work perfect. pm me if you need to be hooked up with one.

the blue is in, with a check vaulve and regulator inline. now if the blue dies the lp does not have to try to suck through it (it would not before). with comp on 5x5 fp is 20 at idle 12 wot. with blue off fp is 14 at idle and 3 wot still useing the stock fuel line size. .
thanks, mooseman
