Question What do the ***** on the fuel lines do

When I was working on my intake system I notices the black ***** on the fuel lines the run along the firewall. what exactly do these do? If I turn them does this affect fuel distribution? Thanks -Evan

no, no, and no. You must take me for an idiot, no offense. Its late now I'm very bored, and cranky.

I know where the PD and pressure regulator is. Im speaking of the CLEAN black ***** on the 2 or 3 lines on the passenger side next to the fire wall. I think these are fuel lines. Can someone clear this up for me.

Are you speaking of the banjo bolts? Are the lines on the firewall, or just facing it?

Those are the only lines with "*****" I can think of as well. Unless you have some aftermarket fuel mods, there shouldnt be any ***** on the fuel line.
