Eliminate fuel return lines?
I own a '87 F350, 460 carb. Bought it new, (378K miles)( now on 3rd engine) it has gone through 3 switching valves, 5 rear tank pumps, etc. I just installed a new plastic tank and pump in the rear. Now I have to replace the switching valve. Instead of putting in a new switching valve what is the down side of putting a 3 way brass valve without the return lines? I understand that I will have to flip the dash switch for the pump and turn the brass valve 1/4 turn and also flip a new switch for the gauge.
I have heard the term "hot fuel" system but I do not know if I have it. There is a fuel splitter with a return line comming out of it in front of the carb. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks
