Default injector lines.

This is for the people that have installed injectors or nozzles on their CR 5.9. i am looking to instal some in my truck but was wondering how other peoples luck has beeen with reuseing the stock injector lines and quill tubes?{ connection from in jector line through head to the injector} the stock lines are supossed to be one time use. since they mushroom to a certain contact area on the quill tube when connected,, im not sayin they cant be reused just that proper procedure is to replace rather than reuse. its the same case with the quill tubes. they make hi-flow tubes just cureious how it has worked for others and if you have replaced yours what brand/ size/etc you have used. any info would be appreciated i would hate to re use mine and have a high pressure fuel leak under my hood that would be a bad thing...

When I did my injectors I disconected the rail from the cp3 feed line, and unscrewed the lines from the connector tubes. That way you can pull the rail and feed lines out as one piece. They are reusable, be carefull with them and don't kink them.

As long as they are not damaged you can reuse as many times as you want! Proper torque sequence +3 is all you need!
