sheriff hit the nail on the head! Nice setup, I would have done the same myself except I'd put the Swage after the elbow to keep all the lines within the contour of the frame rail. And I vouch for Swagelok too, these items are very well made. My own setup is different because I used the parts I had on hand (see sig) but it is more complicated than necessary.
Just make sure you didn't plumb it backwards or in the forward pressure control configuration (inline with the pump), tweak it and you will be set.

Set it up, check it with the truck running, reset it higher/lower if needed. Mine comes out at 21psi pretty much all day long. The pressure shouldn't really drop there even at WOT since the Walbro is putting out much more pressure than you are using. Also check out the wiring to the Walbro and make sure it is getting all the juice it needs. Try disconnecting the fuel line after the pump and crank the engine and watch the fuel shoot into a pail or something. Here's a pic or two of my setup:
thats basicly how i did it except for the part in red.

i adjusted the pressure on the output side of the swagelock. the arrow on the swagelok is pointing toward the return- fuel tank in my setup.

From your pics i cant tell where your arrow is pointing to.

i made pics with my cel, but i dont have the blootooth drivers installed on this computer right now, so i cant load them. its still a puzzle for me as to why it didnt work.

thanks for the help sherrif

I use it and mounted just off the battery box which has a small tab to bolt to next to the IP. I run 2 systems (veggie and diesel) with FASS on the veggie and Aeromotive on the diesel side and keeps it right at 15 psi. It has an adjustment *** on top that utilizes an Allen wrench and real easy to adjust. It does have a return line that you can Y-Block back to the return. It will keep it very steady at 15 psi which I set or was my goal.

However, I am not a big fan of the Walbro as I went through a few of them on the diesel side. I settled for an aeromotive AEI-11203 which has appx 60K miles on it. The Walbros where crashing after 30K. If the Aeromotive goies out, I'll switch to the nes FASS replacement pump. It is also relocated to the frame rail with Geno's relocation kit. But the new FASS will bolt as a replacement on the engine. Save the headache and relocate the pump at the frame rail which will be less vibration and heat saving a longer life for your LP.
Q
how much power do you have in your truck? and what pressure does the aeromotive pump hold?

can i run this pump as a standalone at up to 550 hp?

thanks
