Fuel Line return

Hi,
I've got the fuel tank.
How do I know if I need a fuel return?
I don't think I do as the spigot hole in the top of the tank will be a breather I think.
Can anyone confirm or do you need more info.

Generally, if you have carbs you don't need a return. However, with injection you will.

if it's the standard single weber carb, you can ditch the vapour separator thing, and so don't need a return line.

i ran mine for a good 1500 miles, and never had a problem without a return.

Personaly I would put a return line in, as you have the option of injection without the trouble of putting a hard line in latter even if you don't us it.

Also this is how the Sierra was manufactured, if it was not really needed with the standard carbs Ford would not have fitted it. Only my opion mind...

Cheers
