Is anyone familiar with this?
I'm attempting to install the fittings for the send and return ports and I'm finding a conical rubber stopper in the return port. Is this suppose to be there? It's inconceivable that someone reached into the tank and put it there so I'm imagining there's a reason for it's existence. Currently I can't imagine what that reason is. Anyone?

I think I figured it out and, why I couldn't get it to operate. This basically plugs the fuel return line. I was using air against it and, air compresses. As a fluid pushes against it, this should flex up enough to let the fluid back into the tank but, not allow the fluid to return out to the pump through the return line.
Pretty ingenious little tool if that is indeed how it works. Someone with their tank out have a look cause these bone heads think I've been torquing one up! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
