what are these tank fitting?? want to add return line!
Bringing my new to me boat home this weekend (33OL!!)
I have 454 mags mpis and will need to address cool fuel/vapor lock issues and I WILL have... I put the $300 pump on my last 454 mag mpi but don't want to spend that when I can possibly add a return line (per Mr Eddie Young who graciously explained how to add bung with bulkhead plate/fitting or splice into fuel fill)!!
what are these lines..
Assume the 1 pic (2 lines, 1 big 1 small) thought it was pickup and vent, then found pic of another??
pic 2 is 2 small lines and open bung(??) and sending unit
Can i use the open bung for my 2 return lines??
thanks guys! excited.. I leave in just over an hour to drive 1000 miles to VA to get my boat!

I have the same set up, first pic is fill & vent, second pic is fuel pickups and one empty bung, you dont have much option if you dont want to weld in another fitting, maybe Eddie could answer your Q
I think you would be fine hooking to the empty fitting

Thanks.... I just got off the phone with him.. I figured.. crap.. I don't want any issues so I went ahead and called him.
Eddie said to run both returns there and I would be good!!! also mentioned even if it had a long pickup on that bung, it would be fine!!! hated to call him again, but once I found this pic... had to figure it out

good luck and congrats on the new 33, I've had mine for 2 years, putting two new 540's in about 3 weeks

I think the reason for three fittings is that back in the day Baja had a trip engine model and this tank was used for both applications, but dunno for sure
