Evap as return line question I am running my evap line as my fuel return. I was wondering how people who have ran this connect the evap line (5/16) to the stock return location (3/8) on the gas tank. I searched and found someone that said to use hose clamps and brass fittings, but I would rather not do that.

That would be great! If I couldn't figure anything out, I was going to put a hardline fitting on the 5/16 line, run -6 braided to the tank, then a quick disconnect fitting to the 3/8. Figure it would be about 50bucks.

Here's what my engine bay looks like with the regulator:
Here is a close-up of the return line connecting to the EVAP hard line in the engine bay:
Here is the connection at the other end of the EVAP line:
And another angle (the black covering the braided lines is heat shrink tubing so that the stainless braid doesn't rub the crap out of the tank):
The other line you see in the picture above is from the feed line (it is a -8AN into the fuel filter, which uses the larger 3/8" quick disconnect):
I used all Aeromotive quick disconnects (which are $$$). The return is all -6AN braided lines and 5/16" quick disconnects to the hard line except on the top of the tank, where I did a 3/8" quick disconnect hooked to the -6 braided line. The feed side is all -8AN stainless braided line and 3/8" quick disconnects.
What you see cost me a bit more than $50, especially since each of the Aeromotive quick disconnects is about $35-40. But that's how I did it, and I like those quick disconnects much better than the Russel ones I've used in the past.
