I'm replacing my fuel oil tank. It has two 3/8" lines coming out of the top of tank running to the pump on the furnace. One enters the pump at the bottom of the pump, the other at the side of the pump. Both lines, once removed, appear to go almost all the way to bottom of tank.
One must be a supply line to the furnace, is the other also a supply line, or a return? If its a return, how do I determine which is which? There is no external filter to indicate which may be a supply, but I would like to install one while I'm doing the exchange of tanks. Any advise greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Yes one is the return. To test the lines pull one of the lines out of the tank and see if it drawls or blows back. When reinstalling the lines keep them about 2" from the bottom of the tank even if you install a filter.

one is a supply the other is a return and it does not mater which is which if they are both going o the bottom. install the filter to the feed line (either one you choose it to be) just before the pump.

the cost of exertions to verify as against replace the gasoline tank is bearing directly to the comparable... On a 1999 motor vehicle, i might replace the tank and traces and be performed with it. gasoline leaking is one element, an explosion from a lit cigarette from ignoring the preliminary subject is amazingly yet another.
