Does anybody have the torque spec for the high pressure fuel lines on the common rail.

Looks to be 22 ft-lbs from the manual:



"All high-pressure fuel lines are of the same length

and inside diameter. Correct high-pressure fuel line

usage and installation is critical to smooth engine

operation.

(1) Position fuel line support clamp to fuel line.

Install clamp nuts/bolts and tighten finger tight.

(2) Position proper fuel line to proper injector on

engine. Tighten fittings hand tight at both ends of

line.

(3) Tighten fuel lines at high pressure injector connector

to 30 N·m (22 lb. ft. ).

(4) Tighten fuel lines at fuel rail to 30 N·m (22 lb.

ft. ). "



etc.

22 ft/lb on both ends. (connector tube if removed is 37 ft/lb)

I thought nothing was tight untill it squeeks?

And then, half a turn of course!
