is this the Return Line for the Excursion?

have the hole cut in the tank,
still dripping diesel,
have to wait until that stops so we can continue the job

meanwhile, I want to know if we are looking at the Return Line from the Fuel Bowl regulator ?
it almost appears to be making a very short U-turn back into the Fuel Strain assy.





from a video I watched, the Circle printed on the bottom of the tank, was directly below the Fuel Siphon strainer,
it is obvious that ours is not that way...
wondering why?

he shows the strainer or what is left of it at 8 minutes in this video

Some good photos and info here:

The "shower head" pickup strainers are notorious for rotting away and ending up in pieces at the bottom of your tank.

those photos helped me a lot,
my son's job encroached on us doing much today,
had to be content with just getting the Sump installed,
his next open day "for me" is Saturday, and he promised that the truck would be running before he quit
That Permatex PTFE stuff is white, I thought it would be a dark color
