custom fuel system problems.
To make a long story short, I went -8 feed and return. In that process I removed the factory fuel y and replaced it with a -8 y. In doing so I removed the check valve and now have tank transfer problems. What can I do to fix it. I stumbled across a thread where a guy modified his custom y block by filling it and drilling a hole the same size as the factory piece but I can not find it anywhere.

I just did the same thing.. I hooked the factory y back up and at the filter, right before it, I installed a 3/8 male to 6an line to run my feed. Now everything is as it should be. I think they also make a 3/8 to 8. simplest way

So far I dont have any problems. I am below half tank and I have not gotten any dic codes and the gauge seems to be working perfectly. If I do have any issues, im just gonna add a slosh line between the tanks.
