Use of Banjo Fittings in Diesel Fuel systems
Use of Banjo Fittings in Diesel Fuel systems
(OP)
I've tried a couple of other forums with no response - hopefully the qusetion can be answered here:
A banjo fitting normally has the threads wetted by the media passing through the fitting.
What are the chances that when the fitting is loosened and tightened (without specifically flushing it) that debris from the (aluminum) threads may contaminate the system?
Comments appreciated.

I don't hate banjo fittings, but consider they should be treated as they are designed be treated and not used to make up for poor pipe alignment etc.

I've seen banjos used in older diesel fuel systems but they seem to be more rare now, replaced with quick-disconnect plastic. It could be just a matter of cost, but it's clear that with wetted threads banjos are a poor choice especially for the newer systems.
