Exclamation Gas tank installation

Guys,
I'm installing a new gas tank.
My question is, which line is the return one and which to pump.
From the front of the car, right one is?
Anyway, someone can help me please?
Thanks
Pierre

Well, let's see. On a 1936 Pontiac, I think the one on the far left is the return line,

Pierre,
Ianc is hinting that you might tell us what year car you have. Also, there are some really good illustrations on the website. Also try the search function. It's a gold mine.

I don't think the T had a return, that was only on the injected engines, wasn't it?

AFAIK, though, the middle fuel line connection is going to be your 'send' to the pump. If you have another line, it would be the return.

Given the setup on the gas tank, I don't think it would make much difference at all. The center connection, though, does have a mesh type 'filter' on it. Won't do MUCH, but does keep larger particles from getting to the pump.
