Fuel line to back of Head?

I noticed a fuel leak on my truck after putting in new injectors and it seems to be coming from a banjo bolt on the back of the head. What is this fuel line for? Im guessing it circulates fuel through the head to heat it but I dont see any lines coming out!

Thanks,
Josh

It's the fuel return back to the tank.

Where is it getting fuel from? The injectors and supply lines look like a one way street... Sorry just trying to understand this thing.
