Then I would remove the sending unit and weld a bung to that in place of the original pickup tube. You could use the other bung in the sump but I wouldn't want to do that because of the turbulence. My car has the sump but I don't use a return system..... Scott 69 Satellite, 3650lb street car... Dunnuck Racing pump gas 440. Best of 10:60@127...

What year and body style tank...the sump kits work well and a return up in the front/side corner would be a good return area... dont use the sump for a return area... that would be a turbulence and aireation issue being that its in a confined area(you put a few 1" holes in the bottom of the tank where the sump mounts)... if you do use a sump kit.. keep it towards the rear of the tank and have a few holes just ahead of the rear sump wall ..so if your low on fuel it will get the most fuel into the sump Also when you return the fuel have it so the return fuel is in the fuel(not above the fuel level).. the splash will create air... I dont have any pics of the stock tanks I use to build for Chrysler (wasnt allowed to take pics out of work being that the tanks were pre production stuff)... I can show you my Rampage tank but its a alum home made item Last edited by MR_P_BODY; 09/25/15 01:42 PM.

The holes work as a anti slosh so the fuel doesnt run up the back wall and out if your low on fuel
