Look at your unloader. Some unloaders have bypass stamped on the bypass port. If that doesn't work, the hose coming from your unloader going back to the high side of your pump is your bypass. To plumb this to your tank, you need to get a plug for your pump, should be 3/8. Next, you'll need to get hose barb, one for 3/8 i.d. hose should work. The threads are likely not 3/8 so you'll need to get bushings to adapt down to what the threads are. Plumb that into the bypass port of the unloader. Get the needed length of 3/8 i.d. pvc braided clear hose to go from your unloader to your tank. Drill a hole on the front of the tank towards the top big enough for the threaded end of the hose barb to go through. To hold the threads inside the tank, you'll need something like a dual female end adapter. It doesn't matter what size adapter it is, as long as one end fits on your hose barb threads and the other is bigger than the hole you drilled. Tighten everything and connect the hoses and you're done. Oh yeah, and I use a 90 degree on the tank side because it keeps the bypass line snug between the hose barb and the tank.
