Anyone have opinions on this? Rather than running a new larger feed line for the fuel system I was contemplating using the existing feed and return lines in parallel for feed, then converting the existing evap line as a return. Anyone tried this or have any input?

 

No ideas there but I dont see why it wouldnt work, I would like to see pics as you go if you do it that way. Good luck man.

 

I tried something similar on mine. Of course mine just had 1 feed, no return and I used the evap for return. The problem was the tank couldn't vent properly and I couldn't fill it. I could only fill it at a rate of ~ 1 tank an hour because it would keep burping out. For a temp fix I put a AN bulk head fitting into the top of the tank and a AN check valve and run a vent hose high up into the quarter panel. This still sucked and caused burping issues. I then hooked up the evap line straight to the intake with no evap valve and when I'd fill the tank it would burp fuel into the intake and flood the living hell out of it. It took ~2mins of reving it to be able to move and gagging everyone at the station. So I hooked the evap solinoid back up. If I was to do it again i'd use the bulk head fitting as the return and don't touch the evap. Just causes issues.

 

I think quik did something similar on one of his projects...

Hmm ok that's some good info, thanks. Sounds like it might just be best for me to run a new feed line.

 

I talked to him a little bit on another forum and he was talking about it, but I don't know if he did it or not. I'll ask him again if it was successful. I just wanted to get any experiences here that you guys had. I was really hoping to get rid of the evap canister but it sounds like it's important.

 

You could use the feed and return as both feeds, and then run just push lock hose for a new return since it will not have any pressure. Would still need to put a bulk head in the top of the bucket for it though, but the tank would still vent properly though the evap.

 

Well the whole point of this is to avoid running new line. If I have to run new line anyway, I might as well just run a new feed line.

 

Quit being lazy and just run a big feed line while the motor and tranny is out.

 

Then just do it right!


You know how much it cost to be cheap,
