Installation & Service Notes
When replacing this line, always ensure the fuel system is depressurized first. Maintain absolute cleanliness — do not kink or pre-stress the line. Start fittings by hand to avoid cross-threading, torque to factory spec, then prime and check thoroughly for leaks. Re-check after initial heat-up cycle. It’s best practice to replace connector tube seals/washers whenever these lines are disturbed to guarantee leak-free operation.
