Nope, nothing showed in the computer. I used to work for a DC dealer years
ago, so I know he was looking in the right place. They had a box of fuel
line clips from an aftermarket vendor, but they didn't have anything big
enough to fit the feed line coming off the top of the module. The clips
look exactly the same as the fuel line clip for a Ford.
