General Information
Before You Start
Read this manual before attempting installation so that you can
familiarize yourself with the components and how they fit on the
truck. These instructions are for both the VR70 (V900085) and
VR140 (V910005) systems. This manual should be read completely
before attempting installation. Open the package, unpack the
components and identify them.
All fasteners must be torqued to specifications. Use manufacturers
torque values for OEM fasteners. Apply Loctite 242 or equivalent on
all engine-mounted fasteners. Torque values are with Loctite applied
unless otherwise specified.

Hose Coding
Different frame designations will affect the tank mounting position. If
you have to move the tank, the lines may be too short. Measure the
hose shortfall and order a Hose Extender Kit. The following table
shows the color code used by VMAC to identify hose diameters.
