fuel system question

where do I connect the middle plug pointed by the red arrow in a true fuel return system? My system is pretty simple: fuel tank -> fuel pump -> filter -> primary -> secondary -> FPR -> back to tank.

Thanks in advance!

Why would you be playing with that part of the system? It is the evap stuff and has no direct fuel connection.....

they were all taken out and presumably sold by you-know-who. i only figured this out because car wouldn't fill with gasoline. i basically rebuilt most of the car which is now mostly complete thanks to jesus at kilo racing in orlando.

it is evap stuff, but my fuel system is true-return system. so i don't know how to hook this up or even what it is. appreciate all the input!

the entire assembly was gone. i found out this assembly is needed to release excess gas as you're filling the tank. without it, the fuel doesn't go in well. i bought the assembly, but can't figure out where the middle one goes with my manual.

as indicated, you have to go to the 4500 page and then it also refers to that specific part diagram# 45-711

it is the emissions purge piping line up to the engine bay with the "blue" quick release connector, it is in close proximity of the fuel supply line with the "red" quick release connector between the LH side of the engine/intake manifold and the vacuum booster, assuming you still have these parts on the car

The box is basically a charcoal canister to prevent releasing fuel vapors in the atmosphere.

I'm in Orlando for the next week, wouldn't mind going by to check the car out if it's ok?
