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.

That's brilliantly simple chris. If the daamn supercharger didn't have to be removed then I would do this in a heartbeat. I guess when I do the water meth injection kit, Would be the best time for that.
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.
