3 gallons or less in your tank!!

So, this line in center is the fuel return? That's the one that goes back to slipper, banana, etc.

This is what I was getting at in your pump post. That hose connected to the red fitting runs back to the fuel regulator. I have the red fitting as well, and since most say to drill it out, or plug it with a return line, I decided to leave it in place, cut the hose and install a tee. The fuel can then return with the path of least resistance. To me, it didn't make sense to plug this and make the pump return fuel to an area that would have pressure when the tank is full. It would be like running a return hose to the bottom of a full 5 gallon pail. I have never read from anyone that it will cause a problem either. I would also suggest if you do this to connect the center port of the tee to the red fitting as it will be the more restrictive path. That stated, I'm not trying to make big power like some do. The tank vent is the black plug with the clear line coming off the top next to it. Maybe what I did defeats the purpose of the return line by doing it this way, but I haven't had any issue running the tank almost empty.
 
makes sense what your saying Clint, as when tank is filled higher than the banana, there is going to be back pressure on the return line, but if tank is vented properly, there will not be any back pressure and would be like filling a tank from bottom ... i did have one episode after doing all the pump return as we all do, i had on one ride, when i got low on fuel i was stalling out on hard decel and hard cornering..... baffled me till i cracked open my gas cap and had a big WHOOSH of vacuum.... then it never did again that ride, soo now instead of plugging the return line to tank i added another vent line up to handle bars with a one way air check valve from amazon.... never have that WHOOSH noise now when taking gas cap off and can go to empty on fuel.
 
Well ...I fellow member gave me perfect instructions on how to save the outlet hose. And well....I shedded it.
I'm hopeful to get away with 5/16" high pressure fuel line. I'll keep it straight directly from the nipple on the pump to the nipple up top. Thoughts?!?!

Turboflash, Thanks for your insight. This one's the real deal. All metal G/rotor. Positive and negative are not marked. I'm hoping to position it like the stock one and everything is the same?!?!

You can buy a modular fuel pump plug for the whalbro pumps from Amazon. Locks in real good to the pump. Has pigtail wires coming out. I soldered the wires to the original factory pump wires with heat shrink over the joints
