Ok Dave I understand now. Yes you can put the regulator "upwind"
of the manifold. It will work there, in this fashion. Plumb a tee into
the larger open end of the rail. run one side directly into the log and
put the regulator on the other. On the out side, return to tank side, of the regulator run a
line back to the tank using a small tee. Plumb the output of the
pinhole on the end of the rail into the tee. You now have the same
system everybody talks about, just with slightly different routing.
Check the attached JPEG.

Bill.
I understand what you are saying here. Unfortunately I dont think you
are visualizing our setup as it actually is. The mistral-provided fuel
rail has the pinhole MACHINED into the far end of the rail. There is no
way for the pinhole to bypass a regulator attached to the far end of
the fuel rail, as the pinhole comes first (beyond the injectors, but
before the threads)
I understand the reasons why to have a pinhole to bypass the regulator.
The only way we can install a regulator downstream of the fuel rail
would be to drill/ream the pinhole, then put T's with another pinhole
between the rail and regulator. Chris doesn't like the idea of
drilling/reaming the pinhole out. I'm indifferent (as in, any workable
solution is fine with me).
Dave
