I return my line to the top of my sump tank. I have two plates in the sump with many small holes to prevent the fuel from splashing into the sump and creating bubbles (probably not needed). Both of my fuel pumps draw from the bottom of the sump tank (each with its own fitting). Ed > Ed; How large a fuel line does one need for the return line to the fuel > tank? I'm in the process of welding the fittings into the fuel tank. Also > where is the best place to return the fuel?, do you return it to the top or > bottom of the tank? The fuel outlet on the Tailwind is in the center > bottom, with the tank located behind the control panel.
