Help with sump return system!

[blakef925]

I am piecing together the parts for my sump system in my 97. I already have:

-Tank with welded in sump (-10an and -8an, going to cap one of them)
-Magnafuel Protuner 625 Pump
-Aeromotive pre and post filters

*I am planning on running a -8an feed and 6an return if i can get by. Will this be enough to support 700ish hp?

* Does anybody make a cap to cap on of my lines coming from the sending unit assembly? I am going to use one for my return line with a russell fitting to hook to the stock 5/16" end on the sending unit, but i'll need to cap the other if i do this. Or is there a better way to return the fuel and keep the stock sending unit?

* Need hose recommendations. Thinking of trying the summit teflon coated braided line since it's so much cheaper than aeroquip, etc. Anybody used it? If not, what should i go with?

Thanks!

Yes, a -8an feed and -6an will support 700rwhp.

Also, do not use cheap hoses and fittings. You'll get fuel weep and your car and garage will stink like gasoline.

Ok. I have read that braided hose weeps but what about the Teflon lined hose? That's the stuff that's not supposed to, correct?

my fragola lines weep like a mofo. pretty sure you can weld a cap on the sending unit if you need it. you should just be running your return line back to the sump. how many ports are on your sump?

2 ports. I have just heard back and forth on running the return back to the sump. That's what I planned then heard not to

That's interesting. Mine don't weep at all.

doesn't help that I don't run evap- but the lines at the rails smell too. It doesn't bother me a bit.

So I should be ok running my return to the other port on my sump? No aeration issues or anything?

That's what I thought, and the company I ordered it from said not to use it for the return. Hell who knows. But i'd like to ride up sometime in the next week or so man.
