Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Banjo bolt size?

[The patriot]

I've been getting around to a bunch of little things that havent been a problem. Just some PM stuff.
I want to replace the return fuel line behind the fuel filter. It's been way too many years, and I want to get ahead of things.
What size banjo fitting is on the overflow valve?
I'm getting measurements in the 14mm range, but what google has turned up isnt making sense....unless there are different type of banjos.?
TIA

PS I'd like to go to an AN fitting, then to braided stainless.....

If this is the same part it is coming up.

M14 X 1.50 X 26

That's the IP supply line, but, the OFV is 14mm, too. Are you saying you're going to do away with the OFV? You going to a regulator?

 

[The patriot]

No, keeping the OFV, doing away with the rubber line behind the fuel filter.
I want to go braided OUTSIDE of where it in, so it can be serviced more easily, and viewed for PM.
The braided will be terminated in the back of the engine, not the greatest place....but I dont want to drop a mint doing this. Plus, the steel lines will never wear out.

I'm getting 14.1-2MM as both measurements.

I'm confused.

You're talking about the return line from the injection pump back to the tank, correct?

 

[BigPapa]

Sorry, double post.....

Thought I could delete it.

Yes, the infamous "rubber line behind the fuel filter" cummins trick.

 

[BigPapa]

It runs from the metal line that connects to the OFV and runs down behind the IP then down to the metal line on the frame. There is no Banjo Bolt.

 

[The patriot]

Oh yes it does.....

I'm replacing part#4 where it bolts to the OFV to (at least) where it connects to part#7. Maybe further, not sure yet.
I'm doing this so that it can be placed on TOP of the engine, so that further servicing will be easy.

So your keeping the OFV. Just replacing the metal line. LarryBS sells 14mm banjo Fitting, seals & clamp,http://www.fostertruck.com/14mm-banjo-fitting-seals-clamp.html

I saw that breakout when I was looking it up was missing the actual bolt in part 3, so I posted that other part that has a 14mm banjo bolt you could see if they are the same thread and pitch.

Kinda (is!) off topic but this weekend was working on tearing down 1960 MGA 1500cc gaser and it had banjo bolt off the oil filter that took a 1- 1/8" wrench, thing was giant size for such a tiny engine.

OK, I understand. I misread your first post. So, yes, the fitting would be 14mm.

The rubber line isn't that difficult to replace and if you replace it with good quality fuel hose you probably will never have to replace it again. I replaced mine MANY years ago and haven't had a problem with it since.
