Default Non-Flex Fuel Escalade to Flex Fuel Pump Questions...(Solved)

I noticed that the stock 2007 NON Flex Fuel trucks have 3 fitting on the pump module.....I am assuming 2 evap connections and the fuel line fitting. on the Flex Fuel Modules for all of the Flex Fuel Tahoe's and Escalade's, there are only 2... Just trying to figure out the best option here. Has anyone run into this and found a reliable solution?

I normally piece stuff together to save money, but I plan on road tripping this thing, and driving 20,000 miles a year. The "peace of mind" seems well worth the extra $250.

Thanks for your input!

Just to update and close this out, I ended up using the Edelbrock 15642 supercharger supplemental fuel system. No one could tell me the actual output of the pump, but they tell me that it's good for 650 flywheel HP. It seems that this is the only direct swap fuel system for the 07-08 NON FLEX FUEL GM full size SUV's.

Autozone is a Edelbrock dealer. They had 20% off online order, plus a $10 gift card on online orders over $100. The I ended up getting the pump for about $515. By far the cheapest that I have found. Hopefully this information helps someone at some point. lol

I got the pump the other day. It is just a stock Flex Fuel module modified to work with the EVAP system on the NON-flex fuel SUV's. Basically, the system is way overpriced, but I guess that's the price to pay for a Guaranteed "Plug N Play" setup, LOL.

I'm 90% sure it's just a stock Flex Fuel pump. I will take a closer look and take some pics tonight.

The only reason that I bought it was because I didn't feel like "rigging" up a fitting for the 3rd EVAP hose. I didn't want it to come off, or leak, or cause some kind of issue. I use this Escalade as a daily driver, and plan on road tripping in it. I figured this was the safest route to go.

Problem not solved....my early 07 (12/06) Escalade doesn't have a FPCM. Neat.

Not trying to hijack your thread but I'm looking at swapping an e85 flex fuel pump assembly into my 08 non flex fuel RCSB and I am wondering the same thing. I actually have the evap deleted already so shouldn't everything else be plug n play??
