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.....

I recommend keeping as much of the expansion tank / charcoal setup as possible. I have a similar setup as you but have the fuel return also. I ditched the expansion tank but preserved the charcoal canister. I route a hose exiting the canister to my air cleaner.

If I fill the tank up to the brim I get a slight smell of gas the first few miles which I can live with. Without the canister there is a more persistent smell.

Maybe better ways to do it but works for me.
