RTH - Fuel Filter Banjo Bolt Torque Spec?

[hkimsoft]

Doing fuel filter replacement as we speak... what's the banjo bolt's torque spec? Thanks!

FSM says:

Fuel inlet hose x Fuel filter 22 ft-lbs

I'm assuming that's the banjo bolt. Not seeing any other names that seem to match.

That would be it. Getting a torque wrench in there would be a huge PITA though. I just did them comfortably snug with an 8" ratchet.

Sure was PITA... ended up tightening enough with a ratchet... no leaks and it's good as new. Thanks for the replies to all of you!!!

I was able to get a torque wrench in for the fuel filter connections, 22 ft*lbs, but what's the torque spec on the supply side of the fuel hose going to the filter? I can't find it in the service manual.

Thanks.

I was using the FSM SFI diagrams and it specified the others, but not the delivery pipe main fuel tube end of the hose. My hard copy FSM has an intro that says torque specs are always in both places, but I guess not.

** edited to fix my false assumption that "delivery pipe" was the main fuel pipe, when it's actually the injector rail.

Actually, after going through this more carefully don't think the spec is on this list either.

The first three in your highlighted area are the same as the diagram. "Fuel inlet hose x Fuel filter" is one end of the hose I'm talking about.

The next four are in even deeper, continuing the fuel path to the delivery pipe and injectors, and then the first one is repeated again.

What I was looking for is the non-banjo end of 23300V that connects to the main fuel tube, shown below. I torqued by feel so I'm past it, but It would be nice to document for the next guy.

What you're looking for is in the Fuel Tank & Line section of the service manual:

That's it and I guessed correctly on the spec. Thanks! I went through that section but must have missed it because it doesn't show it with much context.

Maybe this line was supposed to refer to both ends:
