I'm installing carbs and want to cap off my return line into the bottom of the tank. Can someone give me the type of fitting or method you used. Thanks Mike

I'm not a fan of the bolt technique. I prefer to get a piece of solid steel rod at the hardware store and cut a 1" section off to plug the hose. That way you don't have to worry about leaks around the threads.
