That appears to be your filter regulator assembly. Yes you can do without it, but you will neeed to install another one out of the tank. I just installed an adjustable regulator, and replaceable filter on the inside of my frame rail. It turned out pretty nice. If I was running dual pumps, I would consider not using the stock regulator. I am not sure how much fuel volume it is able to regulate.

 

i will be running 2 pumps so takin this out will help alot. theres no wires hooked up to it so i dont see how it could be a regulator. i may get the corvette regulator that goes inline with the fuel system

 

A regulator does not contain wires. A regulator is operated by a spring. It just basically bleeds off excess fuel pressure from the fuel line back in the tank.

 

Also, I would suggest to get an inline regulator. You don't have to run a Corvette regulator, any fuel injection compatible regulator will work. You will also need to run a filter, I just used a NAPA 3481.

 

If you have an external regulator you will have to have a return line back to the tank.

 

get an adjustable one if its gonna be outside the tank...

 

i plan on running a return style fuel system..

i have to gather some aluminum so i can make me a fuel cell!

 

Looks like a flux capaciter to me for time travel

 

oh i also put air to one side and a bunch of dirt and crap came flying out!.. yuck!
