What a life saver

Seems like one can fabricate some sort of mechanical actuator to operate the rack essentially making it into a mechanical pump, yes?

Yes same as a carburetor just has to hold it at 500rpms to idle building a 97 ford ranger and this video helped me run it with no ecm at all

Can it be controled with ecu with this setup of fuel lines

[@boostedlawnmower9955]

For sov delete do I just bypass the sov ? Sounds obvious but I want to be sure …

[@craigk5452]

Return line thinner than delivery line due to combustion of fuel in engine.

[@joebanks3698]

Yes, there's less fuel returning to the tank due to consumption but there's no physical limitation requiring the return plumbing to be smaller in diameter as questioned by the OP. Most likely just a money saving application for MB.

​@joebanks3698 best to have a restriction on return else you can have running problems, the banjos bolt from the pump has a restricted orifice.
