That's the only way he would have two tubes on the drivers side, he would have to be using a '73 tank.

Not stepping on toes here...... I have a 73 GT and also capped the tube for the stock filter return. I removed the plastic line running along the bottom of the car because my fuel filter only has the in and out connect to the weber.

fuel level sender unit sealant?

Still dealing with gas fumes after car sits shut up for a while. Vent lines were done last year, today I replaced the gasket under the fuel level sender. OGTS sent a cork one, old one looked like it might have been cork in a future life. Are you supposed to use any sealant on this thing? I didn't. I did have two of the 5 holes stripped so replaced those two M5 bolts with similar sized self tapping screws, grabbed well so I'm hoping that's settled. Also replaced the rubber section on the filler neck. Old one looked fine. Could have just been the clamps, two different types were on there, I replaced one that was a Philips head clamp with a beefier one. If one of those two things doesn't do it, it must be the tank itself or the fuel outlet inside the little boot......now back to the oil leak.
