[DeTomaso] Fuel Return Line in Tank

[jderyke at aol.com]

 Stock early tank- thats the OEM fuel-out line which often rusts thru so the tank capacity then becomes whatever level the hole is at. THe easy fix ist to use a late sender that bolts in & incorporates its own fuel-out. This leaves the welded line for an ideal fuel return either for EFI or a carb- it matters not as a return if the line is perforated. Sometimes on early tanks, there's a completely varnished-up filter-sock on the end- also unrepairable. If you have one, tear it off with a ,long rod and fish out the debris.

Subject: [DeTomaso] Fuel Return Line in Tank

                 As I mentioned in a previous note, I plan to go with MSD fuel injection on my car.  Which raised the question of where (and if it was worth the effort) to install the return fuel line.  I pulled my tank earlier and was surprised to find what looks like a return line already there.  There was a plug in the top end of the line – came out easily, and it sure looks like this tank is set for FI.  Is this common?
   
  
   
  
   
  This shot shows the line where it comes through the top of the tank – shot with a mirror in the tank.  Looks to be soldered in place.
