Do you have a part number?

JL3Z9B325D (that's for an 18), should be right around $58.

And yes, it is called "fuel tube support"

thanks for the info.. where can i get that heat shrink clamp from?
***EDIT*** I see it now, do you know which size you used for it? wanna order it asap. Thx..


can't believe this company just says it works for our truck, when in reality it's not the best idea. my truck actually went into limp node the other night because the valve itself is just not staying closed enough when going up a very easy grade ( the 154 san marcos pass in California ) I do have a tune on installed, but was not driving aggressive at all that night.

right now I have the factory line back on there, secured with a gates heat shrink clamp. I bought a new OEM line too, which I am going to swap in once the truck gets out of the shop. Reason for going with a brand new line, is the valve that the line goes into is actually part of the ford part number. That valve is related to fuel pressure and I dont want to take the chance that it has been compromised from the ticked/valve flutter from the turbosmart line.

So when you order the new one, does it come with the valve? if so, did you install yet?

I'm seeing this now as i am looking online for it. So you are going to install the whole shibang then? please post how that goes.

also, do you know which size wrap you used to put old one back on?

i have a bunch of the clamps that i bought at a garage sale a couple years ago. all mixed sizes. i just grabbed at them till i found the right size.

but yes, I plan to just swap the whole thing. its pretty much plug and play.

Here is turbosmarts response to my sprinkler noise question. They know the problem and still worn fix it.

“Thank you for contacting Turbosmart. As our instructions state, after fitting this product there may be an audible ticking noise emitting from the EVAP circuit lines, this is normal as the sound is no longer damped and not a cause for concern. The noise is created by the EVAP solenoid actuating. The OE hard line deadened this noise but the softer silicone hose we provide is able to expand and contract allowing sound to travel through it. We currently do not have a recommendation on how to make the noise go away.”

Turbo is what their name is now.

Wow.. well, at least they have a " standard response " now. Frickin unbelievable. They should've disclosed that at purchase or BEFORE someone buys it. It's a 300$ sprinkler!
How much more would really cost them to work around this? just a different adapter would prob do it. just make one that would use the factory connect with a T.. or supply a TB spacer... or I don't know, just not say --- well, is it what it is and now your 80K truck sounds like a 15 year old clunker going through the parking lot and at lights..

My response to them:

“So in theory, a better hose should be a simple solution to the issue?”

And their response back:

“I wouldn't necessarily say a "better" hose would solve the issue as our hose is perfectly fine for the application. The harder the hose the less noise you would hear because the less the hose can oscillate. You can take a look at the OE line you removed to have an idea of how stiff it would need to be to quiet that noise.”

You would think they could choose a new tube that would keep this quiet like stock. Almost makes it sound like you have an exhaust leak.

Here's another good example. how about making another adapter to KEEP the existing hose and basically stack the connection? Or, supply a TB spacer.
just by complaining here, I've learned that this is an important piece of the fuel system puzzle. And the pressure of at that. Think that would be an important thing to think about when designing this.

We need to rally up on here and get them to own up to this some way.
