Product Description
CUMMINS 3942592 OEM FUEL DRAIN TUBE / FUEL RETURN LINE (TO TANK) – RAM 5.9L 24V (1998.5–2002)
This is the genuine Cummins 3942592 fuel drain tube — the OEM-formed steel fuel return line that runs from the tee fitting to the quick-connect return-to-tank on 1998.5–2002 Dodge Ram 5.9L 24V (VP44) trucks. Engineered to meet or exceed factory spec, this direct-fit line requires no cutting or bending. Installation restores proper return-to-tank flow and helps maintain a leak-free, factory-spec fuel system. Includes original-style grommet and nut. Use this tube when replacing damaged or corroded return-to-tank plumbing — or when refreshing the fuel plumbing for a clean, reliable install.
