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..

other SCCA classes are cool can friendly too.
I know locally the spec-7 guys can't get through a session without a cool can... it is a mandatory item locally for lots of track cars (of cours rotarys are pretty hot) I think the higher altitude reduces the effectiveness of cooling and makes it more of an issue too... but by having the fuel fully recirculate, it is not sitting in the engine bay backed up behind a fuel regulator and gaining temp.... yes more plumbing yes not necessary for a street car but still one of those things that is more good than harm, and could save you from re-plumbing later if you decide to go tracking..... brant |
