Viper RT-10 V10-8.0L VIN E (1997)
Fuel Return Line: Testing and Inspection
HOSES AND CLAMPS
Inspect all hose connections (clamps and quick connect fittings) for completeness and leaks. Replace cracked, scuffed, or swelled hoses. Replace
hoses that rub against other vehicle components or show sign of wear.
Fuel injected vehicles use specially constructed hoses. When replacing hoses, only use hoses marked EFM/EFI.
When installing hoses, ensure that they are routed away from contact with other vehicle components that could rub against them and cause failure.
Avoid contact with clamps or other components that cause abrasions or scuffing. Ensure that rubber hoses are properly routed and avoid heat
sources.
The hose clamps have rolled edges to prevent the clamp from cutting into the hose. Only use clamps that are original equipment or equivalent.
Other types of clamps may cut into the hoses and cause high pressure fuel leaks. Tighten hose clamps to 1 Nm (10 in. lbs.) torque.
