My 70 b body leaked a little gas when parked on incline. Of the two lines at the end one goes into the trunk the other is small. Would it be ok if I block off the small one ?
The one that goes into the trunk is a vent for the front of the tank the little j-shaped one is a vent for the back of the tank, if you have a return line it would be in the gas sending unit, six packs and hemi had the return
Yes California tanks are a whole nuther monster with that big tube in the trunk and all the lines going into itAnd California cars had a return too. The CA cars have a "tube" in the trunk on the passenger side. This is a fuel capture device that has 5 lines coming out from it. One connects to the engine, and the others go to the special California gas tank.
I have the California gas tank here in Bossier City, Louisiana... I'm fixing to drop and replace my original tank. I've been wondering where all those hoses go. I bought about 20 feet of 1/4 and 3/8s fuel line to replace all that crap! I'm about to make the jump to TB Fuel Injection. I'll be asking questions about that project.Yes California tanks are a whole nuther monster with that big tube in the trunk and all the lines going into it

Thank you! I'm looking at systems that are return and returnless. What I'm reading is the return line should pump back into the tank below the fuel level as opposed to spraying in from the top through the sender to prevent aeration. Can the vent tubes on the side of the tank be used as a return line inlet? I'm not sure if there are baffles etc. in the tank where the vent tubes go.
That's interesting, thank's, I imagine the box bleeds in and out slowly, never seen the guts of a California tank before.Here is the inside of a California 1970 Road Runner tank. Note each of the four vent lines go to a corner of the tank. The "box" in the middle is used to effectively lower the overall capacity of the tank. IIRC, fuel then slowly bleeds into the box, which lowers the fuel level and avoids fuel spills due to a really full tank. There are no baffles.
Hope this helps,
Hawk
