banjo bolt
If your working on the fuel pump, its called the banjo bolt. It threads into the the backside of the fuel pump. If I recall it is an 1 1/8 size bolt, and you will need an open end wrench to remove it. I had to cut away a portion of the turbo pedistal to re-install it after changing the pump. Jcab

The banjo bolt works in conjunction with the banjo fitting which is the round brass fitting on the end of some fluid lines found in many applications.
The fluid flows through the line, through the banjo fitting and on to it's destination by going though the banjo bolt, which is hollow and has a second set of holes drilled at 90 degrees to the axis of the main hole.
This type of fitting allows a closer fit in a 90 degree mounting situation than any other method of doing so, is capable of being used in high pressure applications and is a full flow design.
It's name is derived from the shape of the banjo fitting itself, which looks like the instrument when the bolt is removed.
Always replace the crush washers (2) with new ones anytime the fitting is separated.
