Fuel Return
Well, I'm going to be putting fuel injection in my truck. I was wondering what you guys have for ideas for hooking the return. I have a stock rear tank which I am not replacing. I will probably put a 38 gallon in down the road, but the tank is still good and clean so Ill just use what I got for now.
Let me hear some idea, thanks for your input.

'Could drill and weld a directional tube (like an ell) to the metal filler neck.
Or drill the sender's top and weld a return tube.
IIRC some tanks have a drain plug? Could use that for a return line & fitting.

If your tank is one for evaporative emissions, you already have a connection. You could use the 5/16" line that runs along the passenger frame rail back to the tank. You would have to "gut" the check valve that's on the top of the tank.

I might just buy an Evap Sender, gut it and put it in if mine doesnt have the evap sender.

I dont know if they sell evap senders anymore. Bill or mike might could find one. I could never find one when I went to replace the one in my truck. Here's the link to what I did instead, it's toward the end of the thread https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1445093-lmc-tank-and-sending-unit-reviews.htm
You can check for ev/em by looking for a charcoal canister under the hood of your truck towards the bottom of the engine compartment. Should be a metal fuel line going to it and a vent hose coming off.

I put a tee into the filler neck vent hose and hooked a return line up there. Not the cleanest of looks, but it was easy to get to and there is enough hardware to find at a decent hardware store to go from the approximate 1" diameter of the vent hose down to a 3/8" or 5/16" fuel line.
