Fuel tank question 1982 2.0 petrol hightop

Hello,

Came across an issue with my fuel tank, re installing it.
Basically I didn't take it apart and I have come around to connecting my tank to the engine and noticed two pipe connections on the lower level of the tank facing backwards. One is for fuel delivery to the engine and the other I presume is to pressurise the tank and stableise the feed to the engine. Where is the tap taken off the engine to return to the fuel tank and pressurise the system.

I have an electric fuel pump mounted in the engine bay so is the tank presurising system redundant.

Cheers for reading

Neil

There is no fuel return on the 2.0l engine the left tank outlet should be blanked off. The tank has breather pipes that come from the top of the expansion tanks and sit in free air above the fuel tank.
