leak off pipe

my injector leak off pipe has no fuel coming out of it, i read on another forum that if no fuel is present at the pipe then the excess fuel will enter the engine via injector and will collect in sump causing wear to crank bearings, is this true?

I have exactly the same situation - I plumbed a fuel resevoir for the glow plug to the leak off pipe but I get no diesel in the resevoir so I have to fill it maually.
I would expect that if the diesel was running into the sump you would notice the oil level going up - I have never noticed this.

I have the same,no fuel,however I have new injectors installed and a completely reconditiond fuel pump with new barrels and plungers,all set up and flow tested by an expert...so...I'm guessing no fuel most of the time is normal!
