When you make a change to your project’s fuel system and have to add a return to the stock tank, that can be a royal pain when access is limited to the inside of the tank, etc. Welding is an option, but requires removing and cleaning the tank in order to keep from blowing yourself up, and if you aren’t precise with your welding then you end up with leaks. Or there is drilling a hole and installing a bulkhead fitting, but that requires you to be able to reach into the tank to install the washer and nut and hold it tight while tightening the outside half of the fitting. But there are better and easier ways!
Check out this new Earl’s weld-less fuel return fitting because this thing requires drilling a hole and tightening up a bolt. That’s it. It creates a permanent, sealed, simple, return line that works like a champ. I dig it.
Here’s how it works.

Introducing Earl’s Universal Weld-less Fuel Return Fitting!
This ingenious design eliminates the need for access to the inside of your fuel tank or fuel cell to install a return fuel fitting. Our low-profile fitting is machined out of 6061 Billet Aluminum and is recommended for use with steel and aluminum tanks with walls up to 1/8″ thick.
We located the -6 orb port at a 90 degree angle in relation to the return tube. This configuration offers for more flexibility and increased clearance. Each kit includes an oversized Viton Sealing Washer, Hex Head Screw with Steel Washer, -6AN Low Profile Port Plug with Viton O-Ring, and two tube options (a Fixed and a Flexible Nylon).
The Eral’s fitting and related components are all suitable for use with gasoline and E85 fuels.
