I'm a bit annoyed at FItech at this point. Every piece of literature you need says "NO RETURN LINE NEEDED." WTF is all this then? It won't work on our earlier stock tanks without some kind of modification. It's misleading if you ask me.

Its not a return, its a vent. So they can get away with it.

As much as I like their setup, I found them downright rude when I was emailing them.

Well, hopefully I won't need to deal with them directly on anything and the juice is worth the squeeze for all the time, money and effort to do this.

If all goes well and I don't hit any more bumps, I hope to have it running this weekend. The truck is laid up in the "premium (easy access)" bay in my garage, just stuck there, in the way right now. It needs to move!

Let us know how you make out with the vent. If you can make it work, it would probably lead me to buy this setup.
