Fuel Tank Sending Unit
Motor I'm looking at would require an electric fuel pump. I would probably need to rig up a return line to the tank in my '69. Does a '72 fuel sending unit have a place for the return? Would it fit my '69 gas tank? Or should I just run the electric pump dead headed into the regulator and forget running a return line?

Re: Fuel Tank Sending Unit
I just replaced mine in my 72 and I believe it had a second line. I'm not sure but I think it is the vent. You can see a picture of the part in the LMC catalog.

Re: Fuel Tank Sending Unit
Thanks for the reply. I think it's a return and the vent is on the fuel tank neck IIRC. Just wondering if a '72 sender will fit a '69 tank.

Re: Fuel Tank Sending Unit
X2 on the question, I'm putting a 6.5 diesel in my rig and I also need to know which sending unit to get.

Re: Fuel Tank Sending Unit
Cool, thanks. Is the second line on a '72 sender a return?

Re: Fuel Tank Sending Unit
I don't think so, I think it goes to the vapor canister. I don't know why it couldn't be used as one though.

Re: Fuel Tank Sending Unit
there is a return on a 72 sender. Works fine on my cad fuel pump.
