Adding a fuel return line to a tank is a common requirement for engine swap projects, EFI conversions on carbureted vehicles, fuel system upgrades, and dedicated race fuel cell installations — but traditional welding installation requires removing the fuel tank, draining residual fuel, and exposing the tank to welding heat near explosive fuel vapors. This collapsible bung kit eliminates the welding requirement entirely with an innovative drill-and-collapse installation that creates a secure, leak-free threaded fitting in just minutes. Simply drill a 1\/2\" hole, insert the collapsible bung, and tighten the center bolt — the bung collapses inside the tank, pressing against the interior tank wall to create a permanent sealed connection point. Includes a 9\/16\"-18 thread to 6AN fitting for direct integration with standard performance fuel system

selection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Choose the bung location carefully – the return line outlet should be positioned to ensure proper return line submersion under typical fuel levels and to avoid interference with the tank's fuel pickup or sending unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMark and drill a 1\/2\" hole at the selected installation location – use a step bit or precise hole saw for clean cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeburr the hole edges thoroughly before installing the bung – sharp edges can damage the O-ring during installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInsert
