2 Attachment(s)
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!:bunnydance: |
I would not dump the fuel back in right by the pick up... Could have a aeration issue

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 :) :thankyouthankyou: |
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

That big hose is your fill , and little is vent in the one pic. Other pic is feeds. I have my return in the same spot(near pick up) and its fine.
