gas lines

does anyone know what the gas lines are spost to be, i didnt buy it with an orginal gas tank and theres 3 hose lines the filler neck and next the filler neck is a hole which i think the fuel level unit goes into.

so what i need is what the 3 lines(which is return, main, and evap.) are and the hole on top.

Download the FSM in my sig line. The 79 manual has decent pics, the 85 manual has a good line drawing of the entire fuel system.

Pictures here. http://intertron.com/ron/tank.html

Mazdatrix has new fuel level sensors for $70-$100.

Much cheaper to buy used parts.

What year RX-7 are you working on?

You should be able to blow towards the fuel tank, not the carb.
