I am getting ready to install the fuel tank in my '73 GT conversion project and need a sanity check on the strainer screen on the tank. The PET shows a strainer screen that seems to line up with the pump suction inlet line. This is consistent with my experience on 911's. However, the screen only fits on the return line fitting on the tank. I am running PMO carbs with a PMO fuel regulator and a return line.
1. Do I need the strainer? I don't recall one being in the tank originally. I plan to run a fuel filter between the tank and the fuel pump inlet. 2. If I use the strainer, should it be installed on the return line?   |

The sock is a very needed part. It acts as a filter screen and a sealing ring for the fuel sending line. You kinda need it.
