The fuel line/quick-connect fittings (A), (B), (C), (D) (2005-2006 models), connect the fuel feed hose (E) to the fuel line (F), the fuel feed hose (G) to the fuel rail (H), the fuel line (I) to the fuel tank unit (J), and the fuel vapor line (K) to the EVAP canister (L) (2005-2006 models). When removing or installing the fuel feed hose, fuel tank unit, or fuel feed tank, it is necessary to disconnect or connect the quick-connect fittings.

Pay attention to the following:

The fuel feed hoses, fuel line, and quick-connect fittings are not heat-resistant; be careful not to damage them during welding or other heat-generating procedures.
The fuel feed hoses, fuel line, and quick-connect fittings are not acid-proof; do not touch them with a shop towel that was used for wiping battery electrolyte. Replace them if they came into contact with electrolyte or something similar.
When connecting or disconnecting the fuel feed hoses, fuel line, and quick-connect fittings, be careful not to bend or twist them excessively. Replace them if they are damaged.
