You could use the return to vent the tank to atmosphere, and just crush the feed one and weld it up.

Exactly what Gus did with his.

Thanks --I just read your post and a little light just flickered in my head

I just get a piece of fuel pipe + 2 clips and connect one to the other in a loop

Simples

Next stupid question is---Do I need an earth strap on an aluminium tank?

I remember reading something in the IVA manual about this, I think you need to earth the tank regardless of construction.

I'm sure someone else will confirm or correct my thinking.
