Return system on my c10 Hi guys! I'm new here so pardon me if I commit some type of sin! But I jus finished getting a lq4 and 4l80e swapped into my 87 chevy and I was wondering about the return system for my fuel. Can I just tee into the suction line on my pump and return that way or will my gas get to hot and will my pump not handle it? For a pump I'm running a inline Bosch 044.. I can just return to my tank but that means I have to drop my tank and I have fuel tanks so then I have to have a valve that will switch between tanks so I thought if I could jus do it this way that would be the easiest... any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I thought the 87 c10 was originally fuel injected. I swapped a 85 c10 tht had dual saddle tanks.
i installed the pump inline after the selector valve. I thin added return into the return line before the valve. So it feeds and returns fuel to each tank being used. I just take the vent line and leave it original or loop it 2 times and add a small filter.
