you don't need the vapour separator, nor do you need a return line.
what you will need is a carbed bike fuel pump that self regulates the pressure and shuts itself off when it reaches pressure.

Sorry for the hijack. I am just putting in my copper fuel line to go from front to back through the tunnel. I have a pinto with bike carbs so I
understand that I only need one pipe however I am thinking of running a spare pipe to prepare for a future upgrade. Under what situations will I need
a return pipe. I.e what engine, fuelling etc.
Many thanks Andy

you can probably get a bike fuel pump for a tenner to £15. then you just need one fuel line and a power wire.
it'd make a lot tidier install and is the tried and tested method. i don't think the vapour seperator is a pressure regulator, so
you'd probably need one of those too. i'd do anything to save running a return line as then you get into extra tank connections and all
sorts of other complications.

Any bike pump will be ok. Make sure its a carb'd bike pump not a fuel injected bike pump. The FI ones run at much higher pressure.

Or just use the pinto pump with a pressure regulator.

i've used 8mm copper microbore from tank to engine bay.
it depends what the unions are on your pump as to what you need to do from there. i used a thundercat pump for my blade carbs, which has 10mm
connections. therefore it needed a 10-8mm reducer on the end of the microbore to increase the size for the hose to clamp to. then i just ran it on
10mm i/d rubber from copper to pump, pump to carbs. the pump's infront of the nearside engine mount btw.
a 1600 pinto's more than adequate to make a 7 go. it's not nearly as rapid as a BEC or even a 2.0 pinto, but it'll still put a smile
on your face. i started with a 1600 because i was 19 when i first insured it. now i'm thinking of going 2.0, but i think i'll run it for
another summer on the 1600.
