Stock regulator sits on top of the fuel pump module, and is nominally "outside" the tank. I am not entirely sure exactly HOW it works. It may simply dump excess fuel right back into the tank.
Ok, thats what i was kind of thinking, I wasn't sure if possibly installing a regulator further down the line away from the tank (for accessibility reasons) and maybe running a return line for the access fuel straight from the regulator back to the pump? If that makes since?
I would be most interested in how difficult it would be to simply remove the filter/regulator, and go with just a straight hose/line from there. Size of the internal line would be good to know as well, so if ya wanna run a larger than stock line, you know how deep you have to dig.

Consider it done give me 20 min and I will post that info for you.
So here you go, I disassembled a fuel pump and this is what I found. The fuel line is 3/8 external dia and is ¼ inside dia. As you see in the one pix there is a blue nipple on the bottom of the pump that is the over pressure fuel return, it is built right into the pump.
