I know what you mean, but others on the list may not, this line does NOT go
to the turbo, it goes to the flame heater, which is installed in the intake
elbow, to which the turbo is attached.

goes (as I can recall) to be tee'd into the injector
return lines.
yep
How can
you tell on your truck that the compensator was
bypassed;
The part of the injection pump nearest the rear of the truck is the governor,
the device directly on top of it is the fuel density compensator. The fuel
line from the fuel filter will be screwed into a tee on the back of the
density compensator. The other branch of the tee has a hose running it to
the back of the injection pump hydraulic head (kind looks like distributor
cap, but with steel fuel lines instead of plug wires). If compensator has
been bypassed the line runs directly from fuel filter to hydraulic head.

Also check for debris in the tank. I once found a rag, which would float
around for a while before finding its way to the intank pump inlet, which it
would block and starve the engine for fuel. Shut the truck off, it would
float away eventually, restart the truck and it would run fine, then
eventually the cycle would repeat itself. Not at all uncommon for the rubber
hose on the side of the intank pump to split.
Hope this helps,
David
