Those fuel return lines really do handle a lot of fuel. At idle it is not so much, but on driving from Indy to Philly and return last month, I was running it pretty hard just before the toll road and I lost that little rivet like piece that sits in the cloth covered tube behind the last injector. Well at 75 mph that plug came out and you leave a cloud of diesel vapor over the interstate. I bet a lot of drivers moaned about that, though traffic was pretty light. But in the 5 to 6 miles to the next exit I like I probably dumped 5 gallons of diesel. Took a screw out of the license plate and screwed that in and it held it until I returned home. Outside of that and a quart of oil at 700 miles running 70/75 and just a little above normal on temperature and it was hot, but a good ride. I enjoy that 240D with the 617 turbo and a four speed stick very much.
