Those of You running a reg return whos regulator are you using and how long do they Last?
I have run a Holley mostly because it was rebuildable, and black to match my fittings on the braided fuel lines... and yes I admitt to being a little AR when it comes to my trucks. My problem is the reg is not diesel rated and likes to eat diaframs, it has been one about every 6K since the conversion but I blew one today that only has 1500 miles on it. Just wanting to know what ya'll are having luck with.
 
Aeromotive 13105 here and no problems after 20k miles and counting. I know a few guys like the Aeromotive 13101 A1000. I called Aeromotive to discuss my system and asked about the reliability with diesel fuel, they told me it wouldn't be an issue.
 
I just bought a cheap ricer regulator for mine. $25 shipped. Teddy Bear has been running the same thing for 3 years on his puller set at 40psi and not a single problem from it, so I dont know why it shouldnt work as well for me.

I forgot to ask what pressure range are they good for as well? Mine is I think 20-70psi with a 1to1 boost reference. I have it set at 38, and with boost goes up from there.
I kinda hate to admit too my temp fix for it but till I get this reg thing figured out, lets just say a 1/2 brass ball valve with -an fittings only restricts flow but with a big volume electric pump does not drop much presure @ wot
 
I'm running an Aeromotive 13301 and have been very happy so far. 10 PSI static 1:1 boost referenced so it sees 60 PSI regularly, no issues yet. I had several discussions with Brett Clow at Aeromotive, He was concerned about the ability to accurately control fuel pressure at the at the boost levels we run, but had no reservations about the diesel fuel. I would like to have a spare diafram in the truck, but I currently don't. It's been probably 6 months, so far so good.:Cheer:
 
I've been running the same Aeromotive 13101 for 5 years with no issues. I have it set at 25psi and boost referenced, I peg my 100psi gauge when I hit it :evil.

I run an SX brand regulator...but everything else Kai said is identical to how mine is set up.
 
Aeromotive here. Just blew my first diaphragm the other day. When I pulled it apart I noticed something interesting, when you blow a diaphragm that's boost referenced, you create a direct line for raw fuel to run into your intake. I wasn't a fan of that. I removed my boost reference line, set it to 35 psi at idle, and called it good.

yeah, that doesnt sound good. i was planning on setting mine at 40 or 45psi and thats it.

A cheap air pressure regulator would take a lot of stress of the fuel pressure regulator and help prevent blowing the diaphragm. Something like this

Boost reference is cool, but not needed.

Mines good for 30-70psi. I hear P-pumps like 45 so that's the range I was looking for.
