Looking for some help understanding the low pressure fuel system on a dodge, I'm using a 6.7 cummins pump as a dual fueler on my 6.7 ford and I'm trying to get to the bottom of an issue.
The cp3 is on a completely standalone low pressure circuit; I have a sump feeding a fuelab velocity 200 lift pump (for a dodge) and 1/2 inch line feeding the inlet, and 3/8" line on the return side going through a fuel cooler then returning to the tank.
It is my understanding that regulating the return side on the cp3 is a no-no, so I've avoided that by just letting the fuelab feed at the preset 18psi.
Trouble is on a long drive my 5psi low fuel pressure warning light comes on, I know a cp3 does not require high pressure but I don't feel like cruising along at 2000 rpm should be able to pull the lift pump down that far? The fuelab is on low speed and it is somewhere in the low 100gph at that speed which still should be more than enough shouldn't It? If I click it on high speed the light never comes on.
On a dodge when an aftermarket lift pump is installed is there still a regulator somewhere besides at the lift pump?
