Default Raptor pump install help. Fuel return?

Finally got around to installing my Raptor 150 pump that has been sitting on the shelf waiting for time to install for months now. I got pretty much everything installed and hooked up fine, except for the step in the instructions that says to combine the injection pump fuel return line, with the injector bleed return line via a "T" fitting included in the kit, into the tank return line. The problem is that I couldn't find the 8mm banjo bolt for the injector bleed line that Im suposse to put into the "T" fitting with the injection pump return line. The pictures in the instructions are for a P-pump Cummins, so its not much help for finding the right lines. After tracing every fuel line, i found a "T" fitting on the back of the block on the drivers side, which has 2 lines running into it, and then going into the main tank return line. I believe the 2 lines going into that "T" are the injection pump return and the injector bleed return from what i could see.

So my question is, is the "T" fitting with the 2 lines going into it already on the motor what i think it is? Meaning the the injection pump return line and injector bleed return lines are already combined into the main tank return line, just as the Raptor instructions tell you to do?

If so, does that mean i just skip that step because its already done for you, or am I looking at the wrong lines and looking past the right ones? I worked on the truck ALL day, fixing things here and there that i have been meaning to do for a while, and towards the end of the day was tired and in a hurry, so its very possible.

Here is the instructions for the Raptor. The step in question is on page 10.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

skip it; air dog instructions tell you the same thing. since its for a p-pump and you're eliminating the stock fuel filter you're also eliminating the injector bleed lines dump source, hence the supplied T.

idk if this helps butt i have a buddy that ppumped his first gen and makes alot of power and he told me to just put the pump inline to lift from the tank and presurize the stock lift pump that can then send fuel to the pump instead of having to suck it from the tank
