a1 fuel line clip

[zeke57]

Upon installing the fuel line I have the four clips which are inserted into a hole in the frame but according to the G-758 illustration there are two more clips along the frame rail which if I remember are of a different type. Anyone have a close up photo of that clip? Are they available or is there a substitute?

Specifically, where on the frame and which fuel line?


The ORD 9 manual only list these 7 clips on the frame.


Perhaps the couple of odd shapes seen on the right frame rail are clips at a different angle.

I have the two clips which push into a hole in the frame holding the line on the front cross member. The long 80'' line is what I am specifically referring to. There is the same type clip near the tee(128275) which again pushes into a hole in the frame then downstream 17-1/2'' from that clip is another of the same type clip that pushes into a bracket welded to the frame. From that point on is what I am trying to figure out. The G-78 manual is showing two more clips one near the emergency brake drum and the other right before the line takes a 90 degree turn. I do not see any holes in the frame for those last two clips so I think they may be a different type so I believe I am missing those last two clips.

If you open the TM 9-8014 to Page 241 and look closely at Figure 130 you can see those two clamps do not go to the frame. They go to the bottom of the body. If you then turn to page 162 Figure 72 you will notice that the two extended tabs on the two clips (D) at the right aft end of the tubing face inward away from the frame.


I think you are referring to D-4 & D-5

Thanks Wes. After looking at TM 9-8014 I see there are five clips holding the fuel line and I have four in place so I will just need the clip to the body and then the one on the tank.
