mad Fuel Leak

My truck has been leaking fuel for a bit now, its on the return side of the system. I am almost 100% sure its where the hard line meets the hose at the back of the motor. When I read the hose it says high pressure on it, but I dont see the return side to the tank being h.p. right? Also Is it hose all the way back to the tank or does it re meet hard lines? Dodge used a fancy clamp, but will normal hose clamps work? And if any one knows what size the hose is so I can pre purchase.

Also on a side note, I need speedo re calibrated, when I call a shop, what kind of scanner do I need to ask that they have to handle that job?

Before you go through all the trouble with that hose check the banjo bolt on the back of the block. Bet it's lose. It's a buggar to get to though.

I replaced that facory return line hose with some plain ole fuel lone, either 3/8 or AN/4, can't remember which. You have to work it on there but it goes and hose clamps have worked fine. Someday I'm gonna replace that banjo with a fitting.

The speedo, I think is a dealer only flash. Either Cummins or Dodge.
