Default Fuel cell question?

I'm interested in purchasing a 8 gallon drag race fuel cell from Summit Racing. You can check out the pictures at http://www.summitracing.com. The part number is SUM-290103. The cell comes with 2 -8an fittings on the lower rear of the cell and a -6an fitting on the top for the vent line. My question is were do I route my return line from my fuel pressure regulator to? Can I use one of the two fittings on the lower rear where the sump is? Or do I have to route it somewhere else? All your recommendations will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

How sure are you of this? Does anyone here use a fuel cell similar to the one I'm referring to? I need to know for sure. Thanks again.

Why not just use one of the -6's on top? That should be plenty for a return line.

if he uses the one up top he wont have one for a vent...

I'm 100% sure you can do it cause i did it.Only draw back i can see is that you have the fuel that was heated up by the fuel pump dumping close to the pick-up but in such a small cell even dumping it up top is close.

Use the -6 on the top for the return, and add another fitting on top for a vent. Get a -6 bulkhead, drill out the top of the cell and the put the fitting there.

That's what I was thinking, but I was wondering if there was a way I could do it without having to drill another hole. Oh well though no big deal I guess.
