OK, I replacing a fuel cell with a stock fuel tank on a 914 that's got Webers. The stock tank has 2 ports at the bottom, one for feeding the engine and the other is a return. My understanding is that the return is not necessary for carbed engines..So, my question is how do I seal up this extra port on the bottom of the fuel tank? TIA..

Doug,
your mostly right.. Its not totally necessary to have a return on a carbed car... You could just pinch and fold over a stock tank outlet pipe... but I would recommend that You DO run a return... You will run cooler fuel if its circulating... more Hp.. better to run a return in my book brant |
