I have a g-surge high pressure pump in the engine compartment. It requires a full return line to the tank. Still using low psi pump at tank in conjunction with this high psi pump. Also, have a Fitech EFI TB.

When my racing cap is closed it is tight, meaning it is not allowing any air into the fuel tank/system. Won’t this cause a vacuum in the system?

Not sure if my tank needs to be vented or not and if this bulkhead fitting should be used as a place for returning fuel or venting.

Yes.....use the top of the fuel cell (AN-6 fitting) as the return line......and vent the cell thru the gas cap....with some AN-6 check valves so fuel can’t escape but will let air out....

Go to Summit and look for AN-6 fuel check valves
