Fuel Tank Lines
I replaced my first tank fuel tank on my 92 F150 super. Rear tank.
Question: of course after installing the tank and straps, function chk Great. Runs, fuel flows!!!
How important are those little metal clips that hold the the lines to the pump?!!
Of course after I filled it, I saw those two clips that I forgot. Dummy.
Is there vaccum pressure on those lines? Would it possibly cause a chk engine light to come on and off? Or any slight rough running?
Thanks all

I'm not real sure if the low pressure pumps were used on dual tanks on the '92 models. Would have to ask some of the experts in here that study all the Ford Trivia.

Those metal clips are just safety devices - the spring clips inside the fitting should hold the fuel lines on the fuel tank fittings. All these trucks had high pressure in-tank pumps (both single and dual tanks) starting in '90.

My Ford documentation describes the clips as "redundant". In other words the lawyers made them put them there. So there must be a occasion when the connection will fail, but not very likely.
