Injector line clamps?

Dustyman · 2026-07-22T08:05:17-0400

I redid my return lines and had to replace #8 line because of a hood/cowl molding being all messed up and letting water drip on injector. So anyway.... I noticed there were spots on the original lines that there were obviously clamps at one time, and all of mine are gone. Is this a problem I should worry about?

Yes, the lines will crack eventually without the clamps. Im sure someone around here knows where to get them.

+1 on needing clamps: the lines will crack without them as the diesel “paint shaker” tends to work harden them if they move around too much. My 300SDL managed to crack a line even with the injector line clamps in place.

Looks like accuratediesel sells them, it mentions for Trucks only not vans. I did not check if others carry them

You might check CDD. I've ordered from them before, A+ for price and customer service.

Appears CDD sells replacement injector line assemblies, complete with clamps, but not the clamps themselves. :cry:

You can buy a cheap set of clamps for $40 on amazon. I definitely do not recommend the cheap Amazon injection lines, but the clamps should be good to go.

Also, FWIW myself and others have had problems using the aftermarket injection lines for timing purposes, so if you ever need a new #1 line I highly recommend keeping the old one if only to use for timing. The #1 line can easily be removed and installed without removing anything else on the injection pump.

Basically with an aftermarket #1 line I was never able to get a stable reading at 2k RPM. And why did I need a new #1 line? Because somebody installed a new IP but forgot to install the line clamp that grabs onto the #1 line. Enjoy your new clamps.
