FAQs
What type of injectors are these connectors compatible with?
These T-type quick connectors are compatible with common rail fuel injectors from Bosch, Siemens, and Delphi.
What are the dimensions of the included tubing?
The included tubing has an outer diameter (OD) of 6mm and an inner diameter (ID) of 4mm.
Are spring retaining clips included with this set?
No, spring retaining clips are not included in this set but are available separately under Part No. 34054 and Part No. 34055.
What material are the O-rings made of?
The O-rings are made of Viton FKM, which is a high-performance fluoroelastomer known for its resistance to fuel and heat.
Can this connector be used for petrol (gasoline) fuel lines?
This product is specifically designed for common rail diesel fuel systems. While Viton seals offer good chemical resistance, it's recommended to confirm compatibility for petrol applications if intended.
What is the length of the tubing supplied?
The tubing is supplied on a 30-meter coil.
How do I ensure a leak-free connection?
Ensure the tubing is fully inserted into the connector and that the Viton FKM seal is properly seated and undamaged. A secure connection without gaps is crucial. If the system uses retaining clips, ensure they are properly engaged.
Troubleshooting
Connector leaks fuel after installation
Ensure the tubing is fully seated within the connector and that the Viton FKM seal is not damaged. Verify that the correct size tubing (6mm OD x 4mm ID) is being used and that the connection is properly secured, potentially with a retaining clip if applicable.
Difficulty connecting or disconnecting the fuel line
Ensure the connector and tubing are clean and free of debris. If disconnecting, use appropriate tools designed for fuel line connectors to avoid damaging the components. Gentle rotation while pulling can sometimes help. Note that some connectors may require a specific release mechanism.
Tubing does not fit securely
Confirm you are using the correct tubing size (6mm OD x 4mm ID) specified for this connector. Ensure the end of the tubing is cut cleanly and squarely. If the tubing is old or has been deformed, it may not provide a tight seal.

- Compatible with a wide range of common diesel injectors.
- Uses high-quality Viton seals for longevity and leak prevention.
- Offers a practical solution for repairing damaged fuel line connectors.
- Supplied in a convenient set for immediate use.
Cons
- Requires specific knowledge of fuel system repairs for proper installation.
- May require specialized tools for secure fitting and removal.
- The 30-meter coil might be excessive for single repair jobs, leading to waste if not managed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility:
This connector set is specifically designed for common rail fuel systems and is compatible with fuel injectors from Bosch, Siemens, and Delphi. The tubing has dimensions of 6mm Outer Diameter (OD) and 4mm Inner Diameter (ID).
Setup:
- Ensure the engine is off and the fuel system has depressurized.
- Carefully disconnect the old or damaged fuel line connector from the injector and the fuel line.
- Cut the existing fuel line cleanly to the desired length if necessary.
- Slide the appropriate length of the supplied 6mm OD tubing onto the T-type fitting, ensuring a snug fit.
- Connect the other end of the T-type fitting to the fuel line going to the injector, or to a new piece of tubing if required.
- Secure the connection. Depending on the original setup, spring retaining clips (available separately under Part No. 34055) may be needed for a positive lock.
Care:
- Store connectors in a clean, dry environment away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Avoid exposing the connectors and tubing to harsh chemicals or solvents that could degrade the Viton FKM seals.
- Regularly inspect fuel lines and connectors for signs of wear, damage, or leaks during routine vehicle maintenance.
