is there a way to make this work with the mechanical pump temporarily? or i guess why do you need the electric fuel pump for the kit to work, i mean obviously the inline filter is a must but why the pump?

I went the other way and kept the fuel filter (with the regulated return) and replaced the fuel pump with a lift pump on the frame and a super-duty type pump under the hood.

WTF?

You dont need a lift pump on a powerstroke... One fuel pump does it all, unless your running more fuel then a single pump can supply.

Well I wasn't sure where that threshold was. I also wasn't sure if I'd need it since I'm still filtering the fuel through the stock fuel filter at low (lift pump) pressure instead of sucking it through. was I wrong?

Can you use the stock pump with the delete kit though, instead of switching to an electric pump system?
