Practical differences in fuel pumps.

[Robert M]

My recollector is rusty  on this, but I seem to recall some threads from the 
Miata world where it was suggested that too much flow could overcome the 
fuel pressure regulator and you'd wind up with some overfueling issues 
and/or a damaged FPR.  Again, IIRC one potential solution was to add a 
bypass line from the supply to the return to bleed off some of the excess 
capacity.
