FPD Eliminator Install Question

[blk92suprat]

Im going to be installing an aeromotive fuel pressure regulator along with a FPD removal hose this weekend. After doing a bunch of research I came across this and wasn't sure about it.

Here is a thread for installing these components along with 550's/walbro/lexus/safc.
Looking just at the fpd install..
If you go to page 2, Step 45, when installing the fpd, look where he is making the connection. I was under the impression this line mates further down eliminating that banjo bolt, mating directly to the fuel hardline.

Here is the link..

What are your impressions?

when i installed mine it connected directly to the fuel line like you said. eliminating the bango bolt. where did you get your fpd eliminator from? i got mine from Driftmotion.

I just finished the install for the AFPR and FPD.

I got everything from DM. I went straight to the fuel hard line with the fpd...man what a pain that connection was to remove..toyota must of put some type of adhesive there.

Another thing to note is the fpd connection to the hard fuel line doesn't screw in very far..there is still a good amount of thread left on the hard line male side but it seems to be in all the way. This seem about right for you guys too?

i don't remember it being too bad but there was some thread left like you said.

That's what happens with "NPT" threads....mass production usually varies in tolerance which will effect how many threads are exposed....it's normal aslong as it threads in enough to seal!
