Personally I prefer Techron Concentrate. Last year as a general maintenance item and as recommended by MB, I replaced the pump and filter modules. There was about 70K miles on the clock at that time. There was no evidence of excess current draw due to dirty filters and no evidence of the dreaded fuel leak. BTW, as previously posted, it has been free of ethanol laced gasoline since 2005.

Here are the photos of the filters and pumps.

So you are against looping the fuel rail? I can see what it's suppose to do and in theory it should help equalize both sides of the fuel rail.

What about moving the fuel inlet to the middle of the 2 banks? Im sure some guys already done that.

You don't have to pull the supercharger....just the intake and that's real easy. I put my inlet in the center with an inline filter and pressure gauge,looped the rail and than pulled the factory fuel filter out, ran a return line and all is perfect. Well.....in my view it is. Based off of all the other cars{American muscle supercharged} it never let me down.
