I bought new injector lines and figured I'd post here about them.
I got them from Accurate Diesel. And I also ordered the new damper clamps with them. I assume they're all made in China but I don't know as they were sent to me loose in a box.
My old lines seemed to be working fine even though I had twisted #1 quite a bit when removing it to change the o-rings.
But I wasn't sure it was working well or not. And since I recently replaced the injectors and pump I figured I'd go all in.
The lines didn't line up perfectly. They were fairly close but there was still a lot of bending involved with pretty much all of them. And there was never any way in hell that those damper clamps were going on them.
That really bothered me as I've read here that those dampers are critical for the longevity of the lines.
I was able to use 2 of them to grab 2 lines nearer to the firewall (they were supposed to grab 3 or 4 lines). For the rest I slit some rubber fuel line and slid it on between where two lines were close in as many places as I could. I'm hoping this will serve to dampen vibration on the lines that it's wedged between. And I stuffed some under one line that was actually touching the engine.
Fingers crossed.
The good news was that I only had one leak and that was a line nut on the pump that I had forgotten to tighten.
