Fuel injection motors require a closed loop full of fuel (in lines and tank) from the tank to the
injector and back. The motor is provided with an excess of fuel, and the unused fuel flows
back to the tank. This ensures a continual supply of fuel at the injector. The return line
must end 1/2 inch
below
the supply line to prevent air entering the fuel loop between the
tank and auxiliary engine.

If the auxiliary motor will draw fuel from the
tank used by the motor that moves the truck
(the chassis tank), NFPA standards specify
that the auxiliary motor
must not
be able to
draw more than 75% of the fuel from the
tank.
This minimizes the chances of running out
of fuel and being unable to move the vehicle
out of a dangerous situation.

If the fuel pickup for the auxiliary engine
goes to the bottom of the tank, as shown
here, the auxiliary engine can use almost all
of the fuel from the tank.
The best practice is for the supply line
opening to be 1.5 inches above the bottom
of the tank, to avoid drawing sludge or water
into the line, with the return line ending 0.5
inch below the supply line opening.
