Best Return Line Setup for Peterson CNC Caps? (1/4" vs 3/16" Hose)

[idiBen]

Thank you, @IDIBRONCO I'm going to run it to #2 like you have it. I attempted to set it up on #1 but the throttle bracket & assembly are in the way. So anyways, a new problem came up this morning after getting new brass fittings.

I ordered a parker fitting (169C-6-4) to replace the fitting that was on the fuel filter hosing. This is the factory fitting that has the fuel hose from the fuel filter to #1. The goal is to get rid of the fuel hose all together. The problem is that the parker fitting is 1-2mm shorter than the factory fitting (see images). This has caused the hard line from the injection pump to not seat properly with the fitting.

Anyone run into this problem or have another fitting that would work for this application?

You could choose to delete the hardline from the pump and just run a soft fuel line. CDD makes a kit for this. I’m sure you could also source the fittings from a hydraulic store

This is the fitting at the injection pump to convert to JIC https://www.titanfittings.com/adapt...o-ring-boss-orb-fittings/ss-6400?f=Size=5/16"

So now we know that Ford actually had a reason to run it to #2. Because of your issue, we're all in the know now too.
