Ezstriper that's a great idea! Are you sure it will work?

Do they make a sending unit with two return lines? For two motors feeding off the same tank?

I am sure you could easily make one into two with some fittings.

Pullled this up do to both of my '99 502's not starting every time they were shut off for a short while do to vapor locking and needing some clarification.

The return line going to my water/fuel separator...

There are 4 ports to the separator: main line IN, main line OUT, plugged port OUT, and a 2nd IN line. This 2nd IN (#16?) to regulator is the line I need to remove and plug the sep housing port, then reroute that hose to return to my tank, correct?
I have no unused bungs in the tank, just the sending unit and the 2 pickups for the 2 motors, so I'm going to have to tap into the fill hose with a tee. Do I need some type of check valve?
Can I tee both motors return lines together in the bilge and run a single line to the fuel fill hose?
What about that unused OUT port #3 on the sep housing? Can I use that instead of removing the return line or will that just create a recirculating condition with the pump running full time?
Thanks
