fuel return line install

Won't submerging the return line into the gas already in the tank increase the return line pressure?

I know it makes a big difference on my water tanks at the job site, I have to keep the hose out of the water in the tank I'm filling or the flow really slows down.

Your talking inches of water back pressure(about 30"
of water to 1 psi)... with the return down in the fuel
it reduces aireation a ton... but if the return is
far enough away or if it has foam there isnt any
problem

Wondered the same thing but my pump is pre-set at 27 lbs. iirc and others I know use a tube w/out any issues. I don`t normally run a full cell(12 gallons)cos of the added weight although it helped before my suspension mods came around and now that it hooks pretty good I figured w/less fuel in the cell the tube would help...........or not.

I removed my foam years ago because of the alcohol in pump gas with zero issues. These are the instruction that came with my BG400 pump.



Bypass
The return line should be fed with a single #8 or
1/2" line. Plumbing kit number 150187 is avail-
able for this application. The return should expel
the bypassed fuel into the liquid rather than into
the air space of the fuel cell. This will prevent
aeration of the fuel. All fuel tanks and cells
should have fuel cell foam installed to prevent
fuel slosh.
WARNING: DO NOT BLOCK THE RE-
TURN, VENT, OR PUMP FEED. MAKE
SURE THAT THE SYSTEM IS LEAK FREE
AT ALL CONNECTIONS...YOUR SAFETY
DEPENDS ON IT!
Wiring
BEFORE MAKING ELECTRICAL CON-
NECTIONS, DISCONNECT THE POSITIVE
TERMINAL FROM THE BATTERY.
Your BG400 Fuel system should be connected to
a fully charged 12 or 16 volt battery. A fuel
pump, like any other electrical accessory, will
only perform at its best when given adequate
voltage. The black wire is a ground (-) and the
remaining wire is a switched hot lead from a 12 or
16 volt source. If wired incorrectly, the pump wi

I know sometimes I'm a bit out in left field, but I have thought about this before. like in a fish tank where water flows out of the filter and dumps into the water, its adding oxygen to the water, is it possible that when fuel is dumping into a fuel cell, is it adding oxygen to the fuel similar to some race fuels that are oxygenated

If it is , its so minute you wouldnt ever see any affect..
I did a study on this at Chrysler and I found that
if it enters below its a lot less issue with air..
thats the reason we STILL return it well below the
fuel level... now we use the return to accumulate
more fuel in our reservoir that surrounds the pump...
injected engines HATE air(as in bubbles)... a ton
of air is induced at the carb when the fuel goes past
the N/S into the bowls

Whatcha smokin there 6.................. But it actually makes sense for some crazy reason.

Except for the fact that the pump doesn`t wanna suck bubbles but solid fuel.............
