346 miles on my 2022 jailbreak, fuel Line at the fuel rail pissed fuel everywhere, about 1/2 tank in 3 minutes. Thank God motor was not too hot. Anyone see this issue? Hope my new car smell is not ruined. Thanks.

It's not uncommon for new Hellcats to sometimes have loose fittings, unfortunately. I personally haven't seen the fuel line leak like this, as most people seem to end up with bad oil cooler lines/fittings. But it's all the same, in that lack of attention to detail and poor quality control sometimes results not all the whatsits and doodads being tightened properly.

Whenever I get a new car, regardless of the manufacturer, I'll put it in my garage for a day and just go through and tighten all the important fittings to the proper torque spec. I had a 2015 5.0 that was delivered with the driver side valve cover having 3 bolts that could be hand tightened.

What is the torque spec for the fuel line fitting?
