But the feed to the pump from the fuel tank is too small at 3/8". The
new canister would have a larger outlet to feed the pump. Since all of
the return flow goes to the small canister the fuel tank would only
need to replace the fuel that the engine consumed which the 3/8" pipe
could handle easily. As stock the 3/8" feed must supply not only the
fuel that the engine uses, but also all of the fuel that the return
line dumped back into the tank.
