Preparing to install the CFR 3/8" SS fuel line in my carbed '73. I will only be installing the single line for the carbs, so what is the best way to terminate the return line nipple coming off the gas tank? Do I tie both nipples together with a "Y" or "T" connector, or is it best to just block off the return nipple? Either way, what hardware works best?

I blocked my extra one with a rubber terminating nipple, tightened with a metal clamp. |

I blocked my extra one with a rubber terminating nipple, tightened with a metal clamp. You'd best make plans to inspect that "rubber terminating nipple" on a regular basis, as many types of rubber don't do well with modern fuels. I would have used a piece of 7.5mm fuel hose, 2 FI hose clamps, and a piece of 8mm round stock. The Cap'n |
