DP fuel system...standalone vs fuel injected setup
Cant decide between the two.
Standalone obviously theres some extra cost there, tank, pump, lines, regulator, etc. but that aside what will work better for me if I want to spray 300.
I know obviously Ill be running race fuel to run that much squeeze, but if I have a standalone setup, I wont have to mix, it will be there no matter what, I wont have to get unleaded (not sure if it costs more anyway).
Thats about all I know though, so Ill be needing quite a bit more info on a standalone setup. Like:
1. What pressure/volume pump to get?
2. Regulator?
3. Size AN line?
4. Return?
The battery is in the back so I have that good spot for a 1gallon cell.
I want to run a rail setup like Kurtis' previous setup with 4 solenoids so that shouldnt make any difference but Ill throw it out there.
Im sure Ill have more questions later but thats good for now. Thanks guys.

Most stand alone setups run between 5 and 10 PSI. A good Holley black pump and a $20 Holley regulator is all you would need. You run -8 from the tank to the regulator and -6 from the regulator to the solenoids. You do not have a return line from system past the solenoids. You can run a bleed off return line between the regulator and the solenoids to the fuel tank. It allows the air to escape the line when you turn on the pump. After that it bleeds very little. Everything else should go to the solenoids. Anyway, I have a writeup that should help you figure out how to put one together.
