(12-05-2018, 08:33 AM)jav1 Also- why is there a return line fitting connected into the filter housing? This is where the injection pump return line, the injector return line and the tank return line meet. I get those 3 connections but why is there a sealed port into the filter housing? Does the return passage somehow connect/interact to the pre-filter or main filter passage(s)?On the OM617 fuel filter head, a banjo bolt secures the return line T-fitting to the filter head.
The port that receives this banjo bolt is not sealed.
It has a small orifice in the center of the well to provide the main (secondary) spin-on fuel filter with an air bleed off point.
The fuel flow returning to the tank purges the air out of the main fuel filter when the motor is running.
I believe your filter head is similarly designed.
