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. |

Mine is done similiar to that, but I plugged the return line at the tank, not all the way at the firewall. I then capped off both ends of the return through the tunnel with vaccuum caps.
My pump is under my tank as well.. Ditch the Facet and get a rotary pump. Much less noisy. |
