WAGON kade fuel return

[5150 Wll]

So, I've done a kade swap into my '72 WAGON.  I've got it running using the CanAm box and all seems to work properly but I think I have a fuel issue.  I attempted to run the return through the stock return setup on the wagon which didn't turn out so well.  Leaking fuel everywhere in the rear of the car even with all new hoses....I assume because this system was designed mainly for vapor in a carb'd setup....

 

For those that have done this swap in a Wagon using a stock fuel tank, how did you set up your return and how did it work out?  I'm guessing I'll need to remove the tank and have a return welded in?  

 

I did do a search on this and didn't find anything Goon specific...... Any help appreciated!!!

My understanding is that many use the stock feed line as the return line, and plumb a new bigger feed line. 5/16th / 8mm is stock diameter on a S13.

That makes sense.....

I guess since i'm dropping the tank and going to have a new feed put in I might as well just have them do a 5/16 feed and return, no?

In using 3/8 stuff or -6 or jic #6 stuff mainly cause its simple to find fittings for etc 5/16 is a really a oddball size in aftermarket fuel system stuff
