Pulse in #1 & #4 fuel line...Normal?

After changing a fuel filter today, I cranked the truck and had it at idle making sure everything was ok. I have had the #4 line break before, so I looked at the fuel lines to make sure all the isolators were tight and in place. As I touched each fuel line I noticed something. The #1 and the #4 line have a pulse when you touch them that the other lines dont seem to have.

Is this normal? A sign of bad things to come? Edited for content Nothing to worry about? End of times?




Please do not use symbols for profanity. Thanks madhat

With the pulse, I can see why #4 would be prone to having the isolator become loose.

#1 yes, #4 no. Need to re-tighten the clamp as soon as possible.

If you replace the #4 fuel line I would also retighten bolt and use loctite on it. I replaced the#4 line and it came loose again and the line cracked. Mopar claim the line but just a heads up that they will loosen up again in short period of time.
