And great pics added.

UPDATE: in digging further in the jeep forum, it does prevent vapor lock, but I con't find info on whether it recirculates all the time.. like when the floats close the valve. Still digging..

During install, I tested using this with the return line plumbed to a gas can. When the float was full it pumped a LOT of fuel into the can in a very short amount of time.

UPDATE 2:

Here's a pic with a 32/36. this is how I imagined using it, only before the pump.

It appears that it does what we need, just make double sure to install it with the return line in the 12 O'clock.

My routing is almost just like that into my 38/38. Why does it need to be in the 12oclock position? Mine is somewhere around 2:30 and seems to be OK?

Have you been able to locate any info about how the filter works?

I don't believe it's valved. Although there was talk about the 3 psi needed for the carb, so it must maintain that somehow..
