Vehicle Damage Warnings

Inspect all hose connections to make sure they are secure and not leaking. Hoses should be replaced immediately if there is any evidence of degradation that could result in failure.

Avoid contact with clamps or other components that cause abrasions or scuffing. Be sure that the rubber hoses are properly routed to prevent pinching and to avoid heat sources.

The hoses used on fuel injected vehicles are of a special construction due to higher fuel pressures involved in system. If hoses need replacement only use hoses marked EFM/EFI.

The hose clamps used on fuel injected vehicles have a special rolled edge construction. This prevents the edge of the clamp from cutting into the hose. Only these rolled edge type clamps may be used on this system. Other clamps may cut into the hoses. This could cause high pressure fuel leaks.

NOTE: Tighten hose clamps to 1 Nm (10 in lb) torque.
