As others have mentioned,  the top of this tank fits very close to the underside of the deck,  leaving a tight fit (probably about 2")  for the fill, vent, and fuel lines.  It works,  but it's tight.  Regarding the return line,  I don't know about larger diesels, but on my little BMW D-12 diesel the return line does not go back to the tank but rather connects into a T fitting six inches upstream from the Racor fuel filter. This arrangement works fine for my installation.  This arrangement might save you the need for another tank connection.
