Hi all,

For the past few weeks I have been in the process of restoring the fuel system. Part of the project is to install in-tank fuel pumps and since I plan to eventually install the Howell TBI that Applied GMC sells I opted to install the higher pressure fuel pumps. So to deal with the increase in fuel pressure, which is not carb friendly, I needed to install a fuel pressure regulator which requires a fuel return. So where to put the fuel return? I heard it is common to place the return in the fuel filler tube but I really wasn't keen on that approach for several reasons. So I had the idea to install the fuel return on the sender itself and since the senders that Applied GMC sells has plenty of room for a third tube I went ahead and took the sender to a local welding shop and had them weld in the fuel return tube for me. By the way the sender with the fuel return is in the forward (reserve) tank

See below pictures.

I hope to have the whole project done by the end of next weekend and will post the pictures from beginning to end.

Jon
