So I’ve bought the Applied GMC electric fuel pump and have a question about the bypass valve. The pic I’ve found shows the bypass going around the fuel filter, not sure why. On Facebook I’ve been told the pic is wrong, should be around pump. If that’s the case, I’m removing the mechanical pump so do I even use the bypass? Or should I just replace the mechanical and leave it in line? Part number? Advice on these matters and maybe an updated photo would be appreciated
I was disappointed that the system didn’t come with the sheet metal mount pictured.

Talk to Jimk or Nick at Applied. The mount comes with the pump from the manufacturer. As far as the bypass goes. It is there to allow the mechanical pump to pull gas without pulling through the electric pump. If there is no Mechanical pump then there is no need for the bypass check valve.
