Fuel system info

There's been some off board discussion about fuel systems and what works and what it costs and such so here is the post discussion report for the budget minded:

Return style filter / Regulators:
Stock replacement for 1999-2004 Corvette rated at 55psi
Microgard Part number 33737 -- Price at O'reilly's auto parts is $19.99 as of now. For some reason it doesn't show up when you input the vehicle and search on the website so you'll need the part number.
WIX Part number 33737-- a little more expensive at $45

Way better options than most of the prices that I've seen ( some as much as $120 )
* engine side of regulator has a female quick connect and needs an adapter but this is a one time purchase.

** Dave reported high pressure ( 65psi ) when using the 2.2L S10 filter / regulator but not sure if it's related to return line size or a faulty unit AND I've not been able to find a definitive source on what the pressure should be.

The main issue that I had with going this route is that a replacement filter if needed is expensive at $80-$100 every time and would make me want to go toward a stand alone regulator due to cost.

Fuel pumps:
Airtex E2182 ( has hose barb on both ends, is readily available at any local parts places for around $85 or online for $70 ) ( Thanks to Jim for finding this option )
Airtex E2000 ( has quick connects on both ends, is readily available at any local parts places for around $85 or online for $70 )

Fuel sending unit with return:
Right stuff YSU6901 3/8 stainless with fuel return point -- at one point I found one for $40 online

I personally use the the microgard 33737 and the e2000. Fuel pressure tested at the fuel rail is a rock steady 54psi at idle.

Fuel pump, filter / regulator on mine is mounted right in front of the passenger front spring mount on the outside of the frame rail. There is enough room but just barely.

The assembly can be mounted inside the frame rail, but I'd run some sort of cover plate to protect from debris and or exhaust heat, just like some of the OEM installs.

Speaking of debris, add a pre-pump filter! you'll be happy you did.

I know there are high $ pumps and setups out there ( I even had a walbro GSL392 installed at one point and it was super loud ) but I just wanted to let everyone know that there are some really affordable solutions out there.
