I dont know why you are still wanting to argue about this.
Its very clear you have little to no understanding of hydraulics. Not trying to be mean or throw insults.....just being honest.
So why are you continuing to want to argue with me about trying to HELP you understand.....
By YOUR logic.....90% of the oil coming out of the return line is entering the suction line....therefore you call the suction line a return line.....
Well 100% of the oil coming out of the pressure line is going into the return line.....so by YOUR flawed logic....that would make the return line a pressure line.
You seem to think that one of those makes sense and the other does not. Well they BOTH dont make sense.
Quit visualizing the line from the tank to the tee and the tee as lines. View them as part of the TANK....and it should all make more sense.
I repeat: I am not arguing the terminology. I’ll call those pipes whatever you want to call them. Im more interested in your initial assertion that the location of the filter was wrong. Now, we agree that 90% of the fluid coming down the return line goes to the filter then the pump. Which I say is a good setup. So tell me how it’s wrong, and what you think
As to your insult that I know nothing about hydraulics, I might not know as much as you, but who found the problem? Yours truly figured out it was an air lock problem. I cracked the output on the pump and got the air out. Now, let’s quit the personal attacks, nobody is perfect, and look at this objectively. I’m asking you what would you do to improve this setup. I’m not tapping into the tank for the return line. So I can put the filter between the valve and the T but I like filtering the tank outflow too so I don’t really see a perfect solution
