Default kaboom

Have you dropped the tank yet?

The fuel pickup is welded into a cover plate on the front of the tank. Its removable and is the best place for the return fitting. No "kaboom", you just unscrew it and take it to a welding place. Pickup line is attached. Just add a second one. Folks have done this to activate the "reserve" feature (2nd pickup 1/2" shorter). You're NOT welding on the tank. (assume you're talking the 42 gallon tank, unsure how the others are arranged)

This way the two lines can run together, you're returning the fuel to the low point and you're not splashing fuel down the filler piece and depending on a rubber hose to get it back into the tank!

See KMP259 technical photos for details.

If you're into originality, the comp cars had two cloth braided lines running forward... just reverse the flow on the 2nd line...
