914 with Carbs, Suggestions for the return fuel line Options

[porkchopexpress]

I am getting ready to button up my fuel system after pulling the tank for cleaning and replacing the soft lines.

I have a 72 that a PO carb converted. The return line is capped off back in the engine bay past the plastic fuel line, which seems a bit foolish to plug the line so far back.

Does anyone have a solution for capping the line at the tank? I do evenaually want to change back to FI so I don't want a solution that is permanant.

short piece of line on the tank fuel return tube, a tight fit shouldered bolt and a stock clamp.

tim, that fully threaded bolt return line plug is sketchy and if it should leak in the engine compartment...FIRE!! find another place to locate the pump too. hot confines. i try to keep the # of hose connections to a minimum in the engine compartment

edit: something else i noticed. it looks like the pump to carb line runs across the front of the engine to the dr side carb? then all the way back across to the pass side? does the fuel line contact the engine or tin anywhere? if so, try to configure it to keep the footage of the line in the engine compartment to a minimum and off all warm surfaces.
