Fuel line and vapor return question

[photorep]

Hi: I have my 318 out of a 1974 Scamp. On the right side of the engine compartment are two stainless lines...one is the fuel line from the tank and the other was hooked into the black plastic canister that was on the inside of the right fender well. I think it was some sort of fuel vapor return to the tank. I will not be using that line ( i don't think). How does it attach to the fuel tank and is it OK to remove it completely??? And what do I do with the open fitting where it went into the tank??? Thanks for your help...

Don't remove it, utilize it for a vapor return line, helps prevent vapor lock. Use a Wix 33040 (5/16) or 33041 (3/8) fuel filter which has a 1/4" vapor return line. If you decide to run a high pressure pump with a return regulator, you can use that 1/4 line for it.
