How would you run the return ??

I’ve got a brand new spectra fuel tank about ready to go in my 71 demon along with a new 3/8” sending unit. I run a Mallory elec pump and will be using a return style regulator to help ease fuel boil over when parked hot. I will run a 3/8” return back to the tank.

The sender has the small vapor 1/4” fitting so I’m not sure I want to drill that out and try brazing a 3/8” tube on it, risking damaging the sender . Would bringing the tank to a radiator shop and having them braze a tube in next to the sending unit work? Seems like a good option since the tank is new.
What do you think? Thanks again!

The tank is brand new. If you can weld, weld a fitting in the tank and bolt it in.

It’s a bit of a wives tale that you have to fill used fuel tanks with water or inert gas before you weld on them. If the tank has been sitting empty for a couple of weeks there will be nothing left in it to ignite.

If it’s fresh out of the car (or off the bike) then run several tanks of water through it and go.
