Fuel return for a vts conversion

I would recommend getting your hands on the original fuel lines, either from a scrappy, on here, or from citroen. You can also use 6-8mm id fuel line, you will require 3-4m's. This can be picked up from all good motor factors.
The blacktop vtr already has a fuel return line so this guide isn't required


It is ever such a simple job.

Detailed pictures bellow for you to use for reference. I apologise its a crap guide but im sure it will help a small amount

1. Feed The longest length of fuel line through the gromit in the engine bay next to the fuel supply line

2. attach the engine bay fuel line to the push fit connector (fuel line which goes to the rail)

3. feed the fuel return line under the carpet inside the car alongside the fuel supply line.

4. Poke the end of the fuel line through the gromit which goes out by the fuel filter.



5. remove the rear bench for ease of access

6. remove the two securing fuel tank bolts and washers

7. Wiggle the tank so it drops a few inches (will give you vital space to feed the tank line up)

8. Remove the two covers underneath the rear bench. You will find the fuel pump and fuel pressure regulator

9. remove the fuel pressure regulator and all pipe work associated.

10. Attach the 2ft length of fuel pipe to the return port on the fuel pump ( it will be mark with an arrow)

11. feed the other end of the pipe along the top of the tank and down to the fuel filter.

12. Now attach your new pipe to the pipe you recently ran through the inside of the car.

13. Now attach a length of pipe from the out flow of the fuel filter to the supply feed pipe which runs through the car along the sill.

14. push fuel tank back up into position and rebolt back in place

15. put the carpet back in place

16. refit rear bench

17 refit passenger seat

good guide. i used 6mm fuel hose from halfords, its around £2 a metre and 4m was more than enough. the return line from citroen was around £85 :|

[Sparco_Tom]

for the sake of the images i recommend standard pipe work

[barber62]

do i need 2 do this for a 1.4 conversion to vts?

[Sparco_Tom]

if you only have a fuel suply line then yes, look on your injector fuel rail.

[barber62]

wat you mean mate? i did a conversion from 1.4 to vts and the fuel lines fitted on and easy?

[Sparco_Tom]

then your fine, some vtrs only have one fuel line some have 2

[barber62]

ok thanks mate.. could you do me a favour and check out thread- vts help!

[iw_laurence]

does the tank have to be drained? and the part i need to remove is number 14+15 in the top diagram? (and all associated pipework)

also have you got any more of those detailed parts pictures? just for other areas of the car etc

[Sparco_Tom]

the tank can remain full, i have got these break down images for everything to do with citroen and pug

[iw_laurence]

ok mate cool, you dont have one that breaks down the vts loom? as i have a yellow wire loose with no connector at the rear of the engine and i dont have a clue were its meant to be lol

[Sparco_Tom]

yer i shall find it and pm it to you

[iw_laurence]

thanks mate

I blocked my fuel return with a AAA battery and about 5 cable ties. Is that bad? lol

It runs fine

i wouldnt do that personally lol. might aswell put a return in.

[Mieran]

Sorry for the slightly off topic question but where does that extra fuel come from?

And is there much of it that goes back?

[Sparco_Tom]

it is the un-needed fuel that gets pumped to the engine. there is quite alot which will return to the tank

[ryan_g86]

So do some VTR models have a fuel return line already.

[Sparco_Tom]

yes blacktop does
