Description of Change: This article supersedes the article with the same title on Page 2 of the May 1993 issue.
Improved fuel injection line assemblies, clamps, and brackets are used. The improved lines are manufactured from a stronger material that is more resistant to cracking caused by vibration and high injection pressures. A new stepped washer (collar) is used at each end of the improved line assemblies. The collars provide more support to each end of the lines. The improved fuel line assemblies can be identified by the undercut on the hex nut at each end of the line. See Illustration 3. The new clamps and brackets will help prevent vibrations from damaging the fuel injection lines. The correct clamp and bracket hardware and locations are very important for improved fuel line durability.
Adaptable To: The new components in the 3408 Industrial (67U), Marine (99U), and Generator Set (78Z) Engines fuel injection lines groups are identified in Illustration 1 and Chart E. All the new components are in effect as shown in Chart A.
The new components in the 3412 Industrial (38S), Marine (60M, 7HG), and Generator Set (81Z, 5AG) Engines fuel injection lines groups are identified in Illustration 2 and Chart F. The new fuel injection lines are in effect as shown in Chart B. The new clamps and brackets are in effect at later serial number breaks than the fuel injection lines.
The new 3408 components are adaptable as shown in Chart C. The new 3412 components are adaptable as shown in Chart D.

New wider [19.0 mm (.75 in) versus 12.0 (.47 in) fuel line clamp assemblies are used on 3412 engines. See Illustration 2 and Chart F for the locations and identification of 4P3677, 4P3678, 7C6591, and 7C7747 Clamps. The wider clamps are required for additional fuel line support.

A new formed viton damper clamp (3412 ONLY) is used on the fuel line assemblies for the number 4 and 6 cylinders. See Illustration 2 (Section B-B) for the location and Illustration 4 for the new clamp component identification.

Also on all 3412 Engines, a new clamp assembly is used on the Number 2 fuel line assembly (4P7802). The new clamp assembly is shorter and provides more effective support than the former long clamp assembly. See Illustration 2 (Section C-C) for the location and Illustration 5 for the new clamp component identification.
For Non-Aftercooled Engines
New fuel line support brackets are used on engines that do not include aftercoolers. On 3408 engines these are the 4P8261 and 4P8385 Brackets. On 3412 engines this is the 6I0348 Bracket Assembly.
All 3408 And 3412 Engines
Before removing any clamps, mark their location with tape or some other non-damaging method. This will help insure that the clamps are reinstalled in the correct locations. Use a 6V6069 Torque Screwdriver or similar tool to tighten the clamp screws to a torque of 2.25 N·m (20 lb in).
Do not force fuel injection line ends into position and then begin to tighten the nuts on the ends of the lines. The result will be added strain on the lines. If needed, gently bend the lines by hand until the lines are the correct shape for the nuts to be easily started. Before tightening the nuts on the ends of the fuel injection lines, use the fuel priming pump to purge air from the fuel system. Tighten the fuel injection line nuts to a torque of 40 ± 7 N·m (30 ± 5 lb ft). After starting the engine and checking for leaks, tighten the fuel injection line nuts again to a torque of 40 ± 7 N·m (30 ± 5 lb ft).
