Hello Teeners! Is there anyone can share any pictures how they do a return fuel line especially on the carb side?
Since I will be replacing my fuel lines to SS and removing my fuel tank to clean, much as well prep everything with return line. I have Weber 36 Idf with 32vent Thank you! ![]() ![]() |

Unless the tanks differ, the part in the center is a baffle, not a reservoir (note the holes in the side).
Further, the tank pulls (finger filter) and returns (the other hole) within this baffle. This photo was a result of my pouring in some Stabil without ensuring the paper disc was removed from the mouth of the bottle. I was quite unpleased (I got it out with a flexible grabber). ![]() |

The pump is constantly scavenging fuel from inside the reservoir and dumping it back in which will serve to keep the supply line submerged. The holes are needed to allow the full tank to be used. Without them, the supply line would start sucking air as soon as the fuel dropped below the lip of the bowl. I've actually watched mine with a low tank and pump running and it does indeed keep the level inside the bowl higher than outside. Don't know if it still works with low pressure carb pumps since it depends on return fuel being added faster than it drains through the holes. |
