So I am debating installing an EFI setup on my Schiada RT. I have saddle tanks so my question is how do I ensure they return to the tanks equally? I don't want any kind of selector valve or restriction on the return side. My only other thought was to put the selector valve on the draw side and just be constantly checking and using that to make sure the tanks stay even. My other thought is to have it return to the filter head but I would think this would keep the fuel very hot and potentially cause vapor lock. Or maybe they will just naturally return evenly ? This has to be an issue on pretty much all the big cats running around so I'm curious.

I did it with an Imco return style selector switch. It returns to whatever side your pulling from.

I run a Y fitting by NOS and equal length lines back to each tank without issues.

540 BBC Carbed N/A convert to EFI fuel system set up?
Thanks for any help. I have carbed 540 and converting to EFI. I have two fuel tanks and a 3 port Imco fuel valve. What are the options for hooking up the return lines? Hoping there are other options besides buying a 6 port fuel valve. Pic of new set up.

Caution: Boating content. EFI return lines
ok so I’ve decided to go efi on my new 582 build. Got it mostly figured out with the imco 6 port valve. Last question. My imco fuel tanks have a 3/8” bung in the for a return line. Spoke with imco today. They are just bungs. No tube in them like the pickups. Does it make sense to have fittings...

Fuel Surge Tank for EFI
Do any of you guys have a surge tank set up for EFI? Looking for ideas to keep constant pressure to high pressure pump. Tank type, location, layout, low pressure pump used. This is for my Vector v-drive.
