Weird hose not where it should be.

[ShaunPearson]

Hey there, I was doing an oil and filter change on my 2005 Jeep Liberty (KJ) 2.8L Turbo Diesel and I noticed his hose hanging from a bit of my bash plate, I have absolutely no idea where it came from. Any ideas?

That looks like part of the injector fuel return line. Probably an old piece that dropped down into the abyss.

If you look at your #1 injector you'll see a 90° elbow sticking out of the top attached to hose running to T-fittings on injectors #2-4 and then to a plastic fuel junction block at the rear of the head on the driver's side.

Save it. The plastic elbow and T-fittings like to break when removed from the injectors. Comes as a spendy assembly. If your CRD is running then it's been replaced.
