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 |

I used a stainless bolt to plug about a foot of fuel line on that end. I figured if I want to drain the fuel tank easily this would work.

I see no reason why plugging it this way is any more dangerous than having pressurized fuel in a fuel line to begin with. And like you said, handy to help drain fuel. |
