Help. I screwed up on both my cars when I installed the fuel tanks. I noticed this when I happened to look at a fuel system diagram. I ran the line from the T to the pressure relief valve and the other line from the tank out to the bottom of the floor. I guess I assumed the pressure relief valve was supposed to allow pressure to build up for the carbs and then allow the fuel to circulate back to the tank. I did not have an anti-siphon valve in the line. I have been running the cars with no problem.
With the lines hooked up as the diagram shows and no anti-siphon valve is there enough pressure for the carbs? It appears that the fuel will just continue to circulate back to the tank and not build up any pressure. It looks like I should pull the tanks and correct my screw up.
