[QUOTE="exskibum, post: 518944, member: 383"] I think the point is that this creative fix only works for Gen II owners. The reason is that on a Gen I, that extra nipple/line into the fuel pump body is already used as a return from the fuel rail to the tank in the Gen I fuel injection system. The Gen II's fuel injection system doesn't use a return line. Therefore, JTM is canabalizing a Gen I fuel pump body to use its return line nipple for the purpose of connecting the aux. fuel cell on a Gen II that doesn't need to use that nipple for the fuel return. [I][/I] Question for the gurus: I guess if you wanted to get creative for a Gen I, you might run your return to a nipple on the aux. tank and then go ahead with what JTM has on the drawing board for your feed line from aux. tank to main tank. Any reason that wouldn't work (so long as the aux tank has a return nipple or (maybe) a Tee in the feed line)? Interesting thread and project, JTM! Wishing you success on this very sanitary looking solution. [/QUOTE]
