Spill Rail connection question 300 TDi

[Andy Evans]

Hi all, Quick question for you.

Just in the process of replacing the spill rail on a '94 300TDi and the connections are puzzling me. Working back from the pump there is a banjo bolt and on the collar of the rail is an aluminium (?) pipe bent at 90 degrees. Obviously this is to feed into the fuel return pipe back to the tank, but..

The other end of the tank return pipe has a male/female hex bolt arrangement to join the two parts together. Now the original (damaged) spill rail has a collett with a threaded barrel to join them, but the new one does not (only part available from Britpart). Finally, the question is; is the new part incomplete or is there another piece I need to buy ?

All suggestions appreciated !!

Sounds like exactly the sort of job I hate. You know, relatively straight forward until you realise the bits you have aint the bits you want!
It is such an ****!
Sorry I can't give an answer but it won't be too long til someone can!
