3 -6 fittings on the top front.

1 fills the tank coming from a walbro in original gas tank.
1 return line from fuel rail.
1 when the tank is full, returns excess to original gas tank.

2 -10 fittings on bottom opposite side.

each one can feed a pump of choice. i was going to run 2 bosch 044's, but you can block 1 off and use a big single pump.

to connect the stock sending unit to feed and the return all you need is 2 f these and some hose. i can draw a diagram if it makes it easier, but it sounds like a lot more work than it really is.

the whole point of this is that the tank is 100% full all the time and the pumps feeding the engine will never starve for fuel.

regarding those quick connect fittings, so those just simply push onto the existing hard lines on the stock fuel sending unit?

Correct, they snap right on, no cutting or mods needed.
