914 Fuel Expansion Tank?, In Tank Fuel Pump Options

[Conceivedready61]

Hello All: Not sure if this question has been addresses here as I couldn't find it, But,,,, I'm doing a V8 conversion in my 914 with a late model GM L83 aluminum block that has direct injection. I have purchased an in tank pump( Holley Sniper) to supply the direct injection pump on the engine. This is a non return type system, although the pump has ports for Return and a Vent, the return is plugged in this scenario. My question is with this do I need to keep the Yugly Fuel expansion tank?? Also where does the Vent go from the intank pump?

Thanks in advance for any help.....

The expansion tank is there for a reason, and should not be removed; do so at your own risk. The same with the charcoal canister system, but to use it properly you would need a new source of pressurized air.

Hands down the worst thing i ever did to my car was to remove the expansion tank and charcoal canister.

I'm now running a hose straight from the filler neck vent down under the car and every left hand turn, with 1/2 a tank of gas or more, gas is dripping out the vent and i have a strong gas smell inside the car.

Same, actually pulled over on a twisty road because the gas smell was so strong I thought I had a big issue....not something you want happening on the regular if simply keeping some of the gear in place handles it gracefully.
