Default External Fuel Pressure Regulator

I need a little help. I have been digging around on google and the form for a few days now.

I am pulling the torque tube for a rebuild and while I am at it I want to convert to a external fuel pressure regulator setup. I know there are a few gotchas on the C6. This is where I am at...

I need to block off for the factory regulators on both tanks. Where do they get installed? I can not find any pictures or install details, and it is not obvious to me by looking at the part.

I need some way to dump the return line back into the tank. My plan as of now is to use the factory hard line as the return line. Any suggestion for a bulk head fitting for the return line back into the tank?

Any suggestions on fuel line for the new feed?

Do I need an inline check valve for the feed? What part? Where to get one?

Already have the pump and injectors covered.

Try the forced induction section. More folks doing that over there...

ECS bulkhead setup, or you are drilling/tapping the tank for a fitting.
Fore or LPE block off plugs, they are in the tank on the assemblys. Just pop the regulators out and push the block offs into place. Super simple process (just a pain in the *** to get to).
No need for a check valve if the pump has one built in, that depends on what external pump you use.
