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..

If you DO want to block it off, check out JWest engineering:
http://www.jwesteng.com/fuel.htm I ordered two fittings from him a while back, one was for -6AN for supply, the other was just a cap for the return. He will make one if you ask. I didn't like the idea of the hose end with a bolt in it, it seems like a good solution until the hose deteriorates or a clamp loosens. How's the fuel supposed to stay "cooler"? Before it gets to the engine, what's heating it up? Especially if you have the fuel pump up front under the tank? -datapace |
