Hi,=20 Rusty....My 13b has an aluminum plate covering the old injection pump=20 location. Do I just drill and tap for an NPT fitting in the plate = covering the=20 old pump? 

 

Ooops,=20 I just remembered that I'm actually returning to the turbo oil = drain=20 location on the front cover, and not the injector pump=20 location.  When I took the turbo off, I just made an = aluminum cover=20 plate with a hole tapped for 1/4"=20 NPT.   

 

 You=20 don't by chance have an old picture lying around that shows your plate = and/or=20 fitting going into the engine do you? 

 

Amazingly,=20 I don't have a picture that shows it.      

 

 My=20 return line presently goes to the oil pan, but to drain the oil, I = have to=20 first remove the PSRU drain line. It would be better to run it to the = oil oil=20 injection location.  Thanks for the info.  Paul=20 Conner 

 

I=20 ran my oil drain to the oil pan plug location on the original=20 engine.  This violates the rule of returning oil below the level = of oil=20 in the pan, but it worked fine.  Having to remove the PSRU drain = line to=20 drain the oil was the best part of that system.  I left the line = free, so=20 I could remove it at the redrive, then lower it toward my catch pan to = drain=20 the oil.  It was totally mess-free.  I miss that now, = especially=20 when I have to drain a little oil to make up for the pre-mix=20 scavenging.
