While switching to carbs I need to block off my return line in my gas tank. I purchased a kit that came with a solid spacer and a short section of hose and some clamps however this seems more like a temporary solution.
Has anyone simply filled up the return line nipple with epoxy or something compatible with gas? Thanks David |

A common practice is to simply insert a tight fitting bolt in the hose and clamp it. I've seen dozens of cars done that way with no problems. Not saying its the right way, but it is the more common way.
