Hose and Tubing Installation
Hoses and tubing to fuel, induction, lubrication, and turbocharger system fittings must be
properly installed.
WARNING
Failure to properly support component fittings can result in
fitting and/or component damage and a resulting loss of system
pressure or fluid.
Procedure
Select the proper size open-end or crow’s foot wrenches for the connections
1.
Use a wrench on both mating connections to avoid applying excessive torque to the
fittings. Securely tighten fittings and torque to the specified value in Appendix B,
“Torque Values.” Torque the hose or tubing end fitting while maintaining sufficient
force on adjacent fittings to prevent twisting and shear loads.
CAUTION: Do not exceed specified torque values
2.
Support the last fitting in the assembly on components that contain multiple fittings
coupled in one location. DO NOT over torque fittings.
