Jeff.. sounds like you have something labeled wrong or the handles are flipped. You may have to take the valves off and see which way the handles point for the tank your pulling off of and returning to.

Thanks Don, I worked on it some today and we'll see if I got it, thanks for the come back. It appears that my return lines a "T"'d into the vent lines and this could be causing fuel from the return lines to "block" the vent line when the boat is laying as opposed to an angle when under way? We'll see.

Jeff,
Is your boat the one that was for sale on BT a few months back, Fighting Lady Yellow hull?

That does make sense Jeff.. seeing that that's how most solve the problem of a return line on a repower with a MPI.

Don: I have an idea and I think your the guy, what do you think about fabricating a 6" bronze or stainless piece of tube (with a welded stem connection for the return) and then inserting it into the main fuel fill hose?? Then I can dump the return into the fuel tank without compromising the vent line? What do you think?? [img]images/icons/confused.gif[/img]

Jeff.. sounds like it would work. I just allways like having one piece of hose running from the fill to the tank. You plan on putting this piece in just above the tank right?, so you would have to cut the fill line and place it in between? What size is the fill hose and the return lines.. I'll look around for some material.
