I have an '84 running a Holley Blue Fuel Pump. The genius who did the install prior to me buying the car removed most of the hoses at the tank making it impossible for me to run a return line. I need it to bleed off excess pressure on the pump. The second pump is now starting to leak and I don't really feel like spending another $105 for a new one this month. Does anyone have a picture of a tank on the ground that they can post and identify the return line?



Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks.

Well the one that was on there blew all the seals on the pump because of the backed up pressure.



It goes from the tank through the filter to the pump to the FPR and to the Carburator. No return line. I think that if I could put in a return line through a FPG to keep it from just releasing all pressure before the carb then I can keep the pump from having to deal with backpressure in the fuel line.



But I need to know which is the return line at the tank since the only lines connected are the one going to the filter and a breather.
