Injector Tube Torque

I believe thats what this part is called??

Last weekend towing our trailer I had the #4 cylinder injector tube (tube that goes between fuel rail and head) fail at the collar. Im picking up a new one today, how much pressure is required on putting these back?

On a side note.... Dodge wanted $146 for the part and Im getting it locally at a cummins dealer for $40. Gotta love stealerships.

My #4 just failed a week or two ago. I had it replaced under warranty, but I priced it at Cummins for about $24. BTW, make sure you have a wrench on the nut that you are tightening the tube to (at the head). If you torque it with out holding that nut still, you take a chance of causing problems with it.
