Do I really need these little clips?? I had a bag of em with the new return line kit. Can I just leave them off or will my return lines blow off???
Thanks,
Johnny

The new hose material grips around the return line nozzle sufficiently. I only have clips on my return line end-caps.

Check your new return hoses. If they're small, neoprene fuel hoses, they may need clamps. If they are a heavier wall, with a braided covering, no clamps are needed.

Some of the small neoprene hoses don't fit tight enough to stay on without the clamps. It all depends on the type of hose.

I'd put them on, test drive it and check them. They may work fine without the clamps. You'll know if one pops off, they leave large puddles of fuel under the truck!!
