Injector leak off pipe torque

[jonathanhsm]

Does anyone know the torque for the nut on top of the injector leak-off pipe for a Volvo MD2020/Perkins Perama M20 ?

Torques for the injectors themselves and the fuel delivery pipes are in the manual(s) : 60 - 70 nm and 20-25nm ... ... but not the leak-off pipe nuts which will crush the (nickel?) washer with the little holes in.

One youtube repairer suggested the same torque as the injectors ... but that seemed to me a little high ?

I just tighten mine up just enough so they dont leak any diesel

If there is a recommended torque it will be n the Manual

On my Perkins id 14 lb ft for the injector hold down bolts and 15lbft for the high pressure pipe nut

No spec for leak off banjo

Banjos are never very tight else they split through the side drilling, small spanner tight till it doesn't leak I think.
