Hey John,
I am running a Jabiru 3300 so I do not have a return line. But I do have a
tube from the top of the tank for expansion purposes. I installed a "T" int
o the top of the fuel inlet and ran the expansion hose into the bottom of t
he "T" and ran another line from the top of the "T" down the inside to the
bottom of the fuselage with the protrusion bent to aim aft. I hope this hel
ps your thought process.
