OK, bit of a strange heading there.. let me expand.
I'm running a megasquirt EFI on my mild 318, works a treat. But after installing electric fans, average underhood temperature has incresed (fan not running all the time), and on hot days I get issues with fuel boiling in the rails as I only have a local "recirculating" pressure regulator bleed-off in stead of a proper return line to the tank.
Now, there IS allready a return line in my car. In one end, it ends up uinconnected on the firewall, and in the other end, it is connected to this tubular thing poking up in to the boot. That tubular thing is allso connected to my fuel tank with several hoses. I believe this tubular thing is some sort of fuel vapour condenser, and the line was probably connected to some fuel vapour recirculation system not fitted to my model.
1:
Anybody familiar with what's just been described?
2:
Assuming the line is originally some sort of vapour recirculation line, would I be OK to use this as a fuel return line?
The reason I'm considering this is:
1:
The line is allready there
2:
it would save me the hassle (and danger!) of welding on an additional tube to my fuel tank.
I'm as allways gratefull for anny input fro you guys!
