Need Help With This Octupus!

I am converting a TPI car to carb. So I bought a fuel sender from one of the members. I expected a fuel line and a return line but received this four legged monster. The fuel line is obvious but which of the other three is a return line and what in the world are the other two feed lines and what do I do with them???

The 4 lines are:
  • feed
  • return
  • vent to charcoal canister
  • to pressure relief valve
AFAIK the last 3 are all the same, just hose nipples that end at the sender, they just go to the top of the tank.
