Daul tank fuel line plumbing
I recently insatlled a second tank in my 1983 GMC 1-ton (K3500) single cab long bed 4x4 with a 496 ci engine. The engine has a carb...not FI.
I installed a switching valve in the stock location under the passenger side cab and a selector switch in the dash. The valve and the switch both work fine. The sending units on both tanks have two hose fittings on them. I attached the supply line of each sending unit to the swithcing valve and each fuel gauge wire from the sending unit to the switching valve. My question is what do I do with the second hose from each sending unit? There are plugs on the switching valve so I can't plug them in there. Are these samller hoses from the sending unit a breather hose? Can I plug them and put a vented gas cap on? Should I put some kind of breather cap/filter on them. Wiil gas overflow from the tank out of these lines? On the orignal tank the samller line is pluged with a bolt. When I open the gas cap a bunch of air comes out. I dont think it is vented. Any help would be great. Thanks. Last edited by pancake; 02-24-2011 at 04:06 PM. |
