Fuel pick up tube ????
« on: September 21, 2008 - 09:29:19 PM »
What does the tube with the red zip tie do besides act as a red zp tie holder.
on the other side is a vent tube that runs up into the trunk and back down to the pass. side frame rail so I know it isn't a simple vent tube is it?

My assumption is that the tank which is for a 70 has the vent tube on the pass side. I have a pick up for ensuing year models which has it on the pickup.??


I'm lost  ??? :dunno:

It's a vent return line tube. Your can block it off or use it for a fuel return line

Being it looks like an aftermarket unit, it should be a return line actually. So you can plug it, if you don't run one.

the Hemi & 440+6 used a vapor canister just after the fuel pump with a 1/4" return line back to the tank that connected on that nipple

Original 440-6 and Hemi fuel lines were 3/8" with the 1/4" return.  If you have 1/2" supply lines then your return might be 3/8"  :dunno: .
