  It shows the return line from the engine (or pump) connecting back to the feed line just after the tank selector valve.
 
Chris,
 
I think most folks believe that using the heated return fuel is a bad idea. Better to mix it with the cool fuel in the tanks. The Diamond DA40 diesel uses a similar setup to Tracy's. But the return fuel line routes through the right tank and them dumps in the left. This provides extra cooling for the return fuel in the line. Normal operation is to draw from the left tank only. You can switch to the right in an emergency but the return fuel always dumps in the left.
