<VV> Question about Turbo fuel return

[Frank DuVal]

The 63 return system does not change any stock parts, either the filler 
neck or tank.

It uses a rubber "T" in the vent line between the filler neck and tank, 
replacing the typical straight piece of rubber hose on non turbo models.

This "T" has proven troublesome, depending on which supplier, so if the 
filer neck is out, solder a nipple on it so you can just run the return 
line directly to it just like late model (68,69) cars do.

Yes, the return line should work better. But, I know people have 
disconnected the return line to drive when the rubber "T" failed so they 
could get home. ANd since you have everything removed from the car, 
adding the steel line and rubber parts should be easy.

I do not know the filter question answer.
