Fuel Pump Hex Caps
Is there a torque value for the Hex Caps on the fuel pump assembly? Everything says "tighten" but nothing else.

if you are talking about the banjo fitting bolts , then yes there is a torque rating . but if the copper washers leak you may have to exceed that

I just installed the fuel pumps. There are copper washers on top of the fuel pumps, then the dual banjo fitting, then another pair of copper washers. They are secured with the larger hex cap nuts.
I don't see any torque values for them. I snugged them up but wasn't sure if there was a specific torque value or are they some of those things that you just tighten until they don't leak.
