need quick help with SA fuel line configuration

i was dumb and dropped my SA gas tank without labeling the lines. now im not sure which lines go where. i know the big line is the feed line. there is a line that comes from some kind of valve on top of the tank, where does it connect? how about from the other nipples other than the feed line? pics would be good, but a good discription is great as well. thanks

If the line sizes are like the FB's you will have a Papa Bear, Mama Bear, and Baby Bear size lines. Papa supplies, Mama recieves, Baby vents. Make what you wish of the vague sexual reference.

haha. its not the same as the 84-85. that design has all of the lines on a plate on top of the tank. the SA tank has a vent on the very top and then the nipples go down the slanted part. each is a few inches apart. its hard to explain. id post pics but my camera is dead and the car is a ways away from me at a friends shop. i may be able to figure it out. i just wanted to make sure so i didnt hook them back up wrong

Yeah, I thought a little humor wouldn't hurt. Looking at the crappy pics in my 80 FSM, as near as i can tell, the supply line looks to be closer to the filler neck than the return.

Are the tubes the same size on the earlier tanks? If not the larger will be supply.
