Repair Procedure Notes

STEEL TUBE REPAIR INFORMATION:
All fuel hose/tube connections are made with push connect fittings, and all hoses are serviced as assemblies. The metal tubes retained to the vehicle underbody may be serviced and repaired. The metal underbody tubes must be cut and formed out of rolls of fuel system service tubing.

A damaged section of tubing can be cut out of the existing line and replaced by a comparable service tubing section, spliced into the line by means of threaded fasteners and connectors.

All replacement hoses must be serviced as assemblies. Refer to push connect fitting installation for connecting procedure. Bulk fuel hose must not be used to service tubing in high pressure fuel systems.

FUEL TUBE DISASSEMBLY INFORMATION:

NOTE: After disassembly of the flareless fitting joint, such as at the fuel hose to fuel line connection, the flareless fitting can be reassembled. To reassemble, reconnect the threaded fitting and seat the ferrule to be finger-tight. When the ferrule is seated, draw the nut up approximately one-sixth to one-third of a turn with a wrench to complete the tightening operation.

NYLON TUBE REPAIR INFORMATION

NOTE: Damaged push connectors must be discarded and replaced with new push connectors. If only retaining clip is damaged, replace the clip.
