| Just doing my tank. You need a 12mm outlet to feed the fuel injection pump and an 8mm return from the fuel rail back into the tank, mine is going in the front of the tank near the top, I believe some put the return into the filler neck tube as its less risky to install. |

Here some photos of my tank
Top pipe is the return to the tank
Bottom pipe is for the night heater
Pipe left to right is from the tank overflow
Outlet has been modified by welding 9mm pipe into the original tank outlet fitting.

Hi
Wouldn't it be better to source factory EFI tank from that model bay, they have a built in surge tank.

Nah, that means spends.
Could be well spent on beer/petrol knowing you've done a good job 
Kev, you know the link I gave you earlier...around the page 26 mark? Well look around there for my posts "my conversion so far" "part xxxx" etc. I'm sure you'll find all you need to know.
Oh avoid my first header, you want a Frontera tank
