Sketch424 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Hi all I'm in the process of working out the turbo system for my mk1 Bandit. I'm curious as to what people have done for a fuel return system on these. Can you please provide some pointers/ideas? Thanks! Quote Link to comment
Reinhoud Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 GS1000 instead of Bandit; I took the sender for the fuel gauge out, and made a return in there.. Quote Link to comment
no class Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 A simple design but effective ...... dual barb / feed and return .....return line just slightly below the top of the fuel tank / roughly above fuel level . No reserve but in-line fuel valves can be added 1 Quote Link to comment
Mike750 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Can that part be bought somewhere or is it a do it yourself job ? Nice job and easy Quote Link to comment
no class Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 home made jobbie..... 1" square ally bar , 2 hose barbs 3/8" x 1/4 NPT , piece of .375" ally tube threaded one side …….can be made easy enough . Quote Link to comment

Sketch424 Posted November 8, 2018 Author Share Posted November 8, 2018 (edited) Thanks for the responses, I'm looking at that tap, trying to work out how it comes back into the tank higher than leaving. Is it that tall rod that sits in the tank above fuel level? Edited November 8, 2018 by Sketch424 Spelling Quote Link to comment

Sketch424 Posted November 9, 2018 Author Share Posted November 9, 2018 (edited) Hey B12Mick, where in the fuel supply chain does this go? It looks like it mounts right onto where the fuel tap would normally go. Do you sacrifice reserve using it? Saw this, Its a dual feed however could one be used as return? http://www.suzukiperformancespares.co.uk/product/pingel-fuel-tap-c-w-adaptor-gsf1200-bandit/52/ Edited November 9, 2018 by Sketch424 Adding things Quote Link to comment

CossiEst Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 i used the water drain pipe that lives inside the tank. Just cut it with a hacksaw blade from filler hole, and plug the hole on top. Easiest way, but on the downside you might get some rain/water under the filler cover, that might get inside your fuel 1 Quote Link to comment
