Can I run my fuel return back to sump?

01 blue bullitt · November 18th, 2010, 04:06 AM

Im finishing up a fuel system on my car I have a -12 an supply and a -8 return, can I run the return back into the sump?

Why would you be using a -12 hose for a supply hose, that's a big hose?

because thats what the bung is and the eliminator pump uses a -12 inlet, so can the return be ran into the sump?

No, you want the return as far away from the pickup as possible to minimize bubbles and heat.

Sure, It doesn't matter where the return line enters the tank as much as where it dumps the returned fuel.

10.5:1 compression, vortech YSi pullied for 20-25 psi, trick flow heads, custom grind blower cams, fox lake intake manifold, return fuel system, fore precision rails. I'm sure I am leaving stuff out but thats most of the big stuff.
