Default Gas tank return line?

I'm considering using a fuel injection system on a new SPF cobra (I'm planning to buy) which requires a fuel return line to the gas tank. Does anyone know if the car comes with a return line or at least a port to install one? If not has anyone done this? I'd appreciate any info I can get.

Easy enough to weld one in with the appropriate safety precautions.

What fuel pump are you planning on using?

The reason I ask is you might want to look into a different tank, or create a seperate surge area.

This has come up before:

Great Asp's Superformance - FE Build

Page 16 starts my tank build.

You can email me directly for details.

Run the return line back to the overflow line at the fuel filler. Cut a tee into the line and it's done. Or....weld a permanent solution by welding a return directly to the gas tank as suggested.

I am running EFI in my SPF, (2734) , you will need to add a return line, it can go into the filler neck vent just fine. --

I added a fule accumulator ( of sorts, ) but I think I will have to go back in and baffle the tank, or add a fuel tray.

Driving issues, under 1/2 a tank of fuel , and if you slalom a bit, == you can have air cavitation in your fuel pump/feed.

There is a baffle in the tank, it runs longitudinally in the tank, about 1/3 over from the drivers side. I has two holes in it, one bigger than the other.

Your statement on 1/2 full is correct, but also in acceleration there is no feed to a high pressure pump using the stock bung.
