If I want to get an injection engine running I need a return to the fuel tank... Do all non injection nova tanks only have one outlet, or do some have the return?

i have only ever used mpg tanks, but finding a decent one nowadays is impossible lol

1.0 OHV tanks have no return, all other carb tanks(ie, 1.2, 1.3 &1.4) have a fuel return.

I thought that was the case! But the 1200 tank on my mates doesn't seem to have a return!

They all have a fuel return (bar 1.0l apparently) but IIRC only spi/mpi tanks have some form 'swirl pot' in them. So you'll have to run one externally if you use a carb tank.

Yeah, he has a full swirl pot etc, so I just need to ID the return!

99% sure the carb tank I have has a return as I was planning on using it and selling the MPI one to cover the cost of a proper swirl pot.
