turbo engine fuel return.
Turbo Mini Forums

hello i know i need to fit a fuel return pipe when fitting a turbo engine to a mini but couldnt i just fit a 't' piece into the fuel supply pipe and run it to that? sorry if this has already been asked but i couldnt find anything on it.

Yeah that'll work fine!

Plenty have done exactly that but I chose to use a fuel filter that has 2 inlets as a T piece, I feel it helps to have that small resovoir of fuel there..may be rubbish but as you need to have a filter anyway....

I think you would need the fit the T in before the pump would you not?

Thats probably what you mean anyway i guess.

Also FRAM FG1036

I just found a motor factors and went through the shelves until I found a suitable one.. There were a few but that one had good sized pipes that suited my needs..
