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.

What about on the later 502's without the VST?

Had an issue last summer with both of mine vapor locking, especially after hard run and sitting for a bit.

The later ones return to the fuel filter head. You can simply plug off that port on the filter head and just run the fuel line back to the tank.

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
