I haven't been able to find what petcock with the feed/return that you're talking about. forbitel drilled into the bottom of his tank to put in a return, k12.usmc drilled the top of his tank, or something, and the other guy, diwhiteii has a california model that he hooked the return up to the California-port.

if making a custom feed/return is the way to go. In theory we could make a metal plate the same shape as the petcock base, then buy two of something like this:

http://www.amazon.com/TB-PETCOCK/dp/...1284943&sr=8-2

and then bolt them onto that plate so that they both go into the tank, and then use the oem seal from the petcock, and bolt the new feed/return into the existing hole where the petcock was. Then we would still have a functioning breather and gas gap, a tank with no permanent mods/holes/rust makers, and there would be a way to return the fuel for cooling. Is that a valid solution?
