Hi John,

     I used 3/8" line simply because I had that size, however, since that is
also the size of the main fuel line a 3/8" line for return is clearly
oversize and I would think a 1/4" dia line would do just fine.  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;  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.
