The old fuel pump has three inlets/outlets. I was told i could use a new aftermarket fuel pump, however the new fuel pump has and in and an out, how can i hook up the new fuel pump so that it will work with the fuel system? The engine is a 1.8L carbed. Do i have to hook up the return lines back to the fuel tank? thanks everybody.
