Hello all, I picked up a very old homemade log splitter that works great. I am in the process of upgrading to a larger hydraulic tank. It only has a small 2 gallon tank on it now. The barnes pump on it actually has 3 hose connections. I have 2 non-pressure hoses mounted to the side and bottom of the pump and then the outlet high pressure line. The 2 non pressure hoses go into the hydraulic tank right next to each other. The new tanks and pumps these days only have 1 suction and 1 return.
Should I just put a "Tee" on the 2 hoses running to the pump. I don't know which of these 2 hoses is the suction since they are both non pressure and both connect to the pump at the bottom and side of the pump. I have pictures.
