cavitation??? would that be the sucking of too low of fuel level and it dumping back in so you get a hickup type thing going on?

Yeah you actually suck air from the tank with one of the pumps. The fix is to run with 3/8s of a tank (or where ever your bucket mod puts the cavitation point).

Hey erik, when you say cavitation your just talking about sucking air into the pump or losing suction cuz your tank level is too low right? I have a different definition/understanding of cavitation and if your pump's cavitating I would suggest getting it out of there asap, especially if it's in the fuel tank.

quik most are running the fpr on or near the fuel rails
here is my setup should be similar to what you have planned.

btw erik for some reason i though parish upgraded his lines somehwere along the way. but i could be wrong.





you can see how i y'ed the fuel feed to each rail this way it has very even distibution.

Yeah we've been calling it cavitation because it kinda feels like a boat cavitating
