I recently purchased a PMO carb setup for my /6. My car has never used a fuel return hose since I purchased it many years ago. Do I really need to use the fuel return? My car is just for street driving. I am not really even sure what the fuel return is used for. I am trying to avoid using it because the fuel return lines in the tunnel have been removed by the previous owner and I really don’t want to install new ones.

Were every stock FI 914s going up in flames? Almost every big HP set-ups uses a return. Deadheading is now mostly something done only on low HP engines. |
