I am doing the blankets and manual fan switches on my two K's this winter to keep the tanks cooler.  Looking at the fuel system plumbing on my 100 I wonder why I can't run the fuel pump output to the front of the rail and connect the return line with the fuel pressure regulator to the back end.

Putting the regulator outside the fairings should get it away from most of the engine heat.  Can anyone think of a reason NOT to do the switch?  Seems to me the rail doesn't care which end it's fed from.  Looks like it will make the hose routing a bit neater as well.
:dunno2:   I may just try relocating the FPR....................someday!  :giggles

I've had my gas boil on hot days. Did not seem to effect how the engine ran, but it did cause the fuel pump to blow fuses pretty consistently.
