Your suspicion is correct. The photo shows the wrong arrangement. The tank outlet is the one with the hex nut and the internal filter sock.

The return line flows back into the tank via the plain tube. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
