I Broke My Fuel PUMP HOSES

[longstand]

I drop the Gas tank. my first gas tank i ever remove from any car/SUV.

Well there is 3 fitting on top of the FUEL PUMP. there is letter on TOP of it.. one is R ( i think its meaning is RETURN FUEL) the other is F (i think it means FUEL Forward)

I broke the R fitting.

If you look at the image. i broke the far far left .. is not the one where fuel goes to the engine.. i belive the one i broke is just a fuel return and its not a big deal..

my question is.. can i just block that Fitting with some kind of a putty to close it off. and redirect the Hose back to another fitting which drop what ever fuel back into the gas tank...

hope i make sense.

I did the same on my Hoe when I dropped the tank, apparently its pretty common problem. I've been working on cars for 10 years, not just you. I posted a story about it lol.

You need to replace the whole pump.

F should be pressurized fuel, R should be for the return fuel bleed past the fuel regulator and the other should be the vapor line with a rollover valve that comes from the evap canister for vapor containment.

I broke the R Fitting.. when i drop the gas tank.. Seens its no pressure on the R Fitting i should be ok if i modified the R fitting and connect the hose.
