For FBIII, all the systems are controlled by a pressure regulator - in CIS its inside the fuel distributor; in L and LH its done by external regulators that are modulated by engine vacuum, to reduce pressure at high vacuum. The only other valve I know of is the check valve at the pump, whose only job is to STOP pressure dropping as the engine cools.

My comments were about the absolute upper end pressure available and what determines it. The fuel distributor and warm up regulator on the cis system controls the operating pressures not the available pressure.

You guys are all a tremendous source of great feedback as well as fun reading. I would like to take a second here to thank Roger for helping me to make sense of it all and for helping me to procure all of the parts I need to put together a CIS system that I feel very confident will serve me well. Thanks again to all.

OK, rocket motor pumps are different from what we speak of here. Why speak of 'upper end pressure available' , ie a limiting condition, when all I am contending is that an L or LH pump can supply enough pressure and flow to satisfy CIS demands, based on personal experiences.
Anyway, if the OP is fitting all the correct parts for CIS, the question is moot, by the look of it.

Just for the interest content - PET shows an in tank pump was fitted for the Australian and Japanese markets only 80 to 83 4.7L 16v 300HP engines. Also 84 to 86 310HP 16v engines with twin dizzy.
Certainly on Australian delivered cars I have found this to be the case.

My car is a C16, UK delivered car, so no in-tank pump. The fact that it survived that way in Saudi from about 1990 (when it was shipped to Saudi from UK) to my exporting it to OZ in 2002 shows how little the in-tank pump was needed, at least in this case.
