Fuel Return Line Hookup
#16
That sounds about like the setup I have. I can wire the valves and plumb them so they go to the appropriate tanks when selected. I was thinkin about just making the return the filter with the extra nipple for simplicity sake and just use a regulator at the carb with no return.
Anyone know where I can find that valve?
My fore tank is currently not being used as it is about to fall out of the truck. Its the plastic tank with the cage and the cage is almost gone. I do plan on replacing this at somepoint.
I like thunderhead289s idea of having the return go to the fillers instead of the tanks.

This small nipple is the return back to the tank. If you have 1 tank then you can just run a line from it to the tank and be done.
Note if you use this 3 nipple filter the small nipple has to be at 12 o'clock.
I cant remember if that small port has a even smaller opening or not because if not the fuel will flow to the bypass / return and not to the carb as it is easier.
I dont have a filter like it but IIRC AMC used a small jet type orforice in a rubber line to restrict the flow.
If looking for a filter try 76 AMC Gremlin with a 258 six. I dont remember seeing it on any v8 AMC as my 75 v8 Gremlin and 70 Javelin do not run that type filter. I also want to say my sons Jeep YJ with a 4.0 / 4.2 might have the 3 port filter?
If you are looking for a 3 port switching valve like you have now you can find them on Amazon, Ebay and sometimes local parts stores.
Think I got my spares from Ebay Try SFV-1 or FV-1 standard.

The return DOSE NOT go to the filters the FILTERS have a 3rd nipple that is on the outlet side of the filter, 1/4 or small IIRC.
