Quick ATI FMU question

I'm trying to figure out which opening is the inlet and which is the outlet. Temporarily, I'm considering running it with my setup.. and I don't have the instructions to go with it.

I don't really like how ATI routes the lines all the way over to the driver's side firewall and gives you cheesy adapters to cut into your stock lines, and I'm running a Stealth Ram. So, I'm running a -6 line to the fuel rail, and I have a normal regulator on the return side of course. I'm going to run a -6 AN to 1/8" NPT fitting and put the FMU right on the outlet of the HSR regulator, I think it will work a lot better this way.. unless someone can give me a reason why it wouldn't. It should do the same thing as ATI intended it to, without the 4 feet of rubber hoses.

Anyway, am I correct in assuming the hole in the bottom is the inlet from the fuel rail, and the one on the side is the outlet to go back to the tank?

Thanks.

there is nothing wrong with it being mounted closer to the regulator.

Thanks Tom, you're the man. I'm going to mount it right off the side of the regulator, then.

The only problem i see hard mounting it to the regulator is vibration could break the fitting, so be sure to mount the regulator and FMU to the same point.

Very good point maniac. expecially if you are using Earls aluminum fittings. Aeroquip is a couple bucks more but they extrude from a thicker and harder aluminum stock it appears. I use Earls adapters and recommend them even. I have the stainless steel braided brakeline kit on my B4C even. But I would mount the FMU to something, don't let any brand of fitting bear the weight. just something to think about

Don't hang one off the other/make a proper bracket and you won't have any problems.

Man are those things ugly out of the box. The only thing worse is the sticker Paxton sticks to them.
