Fuel Line/Quick-Connect Fitting Removal

NOTE: Before you work on the fuel line and fittings, read the "Fuel Line/Quick-Connect Fitting Precautions" (see FUEL LINE/QUICK-CONNECT FITTING PRECAUTIONS  ).
  1. Relieve fuel pressure (see FUEL PRESSURE RELIEVING  ).
  2. Check the fuel quick-connect fittings for dirt, and clean them if necessary.
  3. Hold the connector (A) with one hand, and squeeze the retainer tabs (B) with the other hand to release them from the locking pawls (C). Pull the connector off.
    NOTE:
    • Be careful not to damage the line (D) or other parts. Do not use tools.
    • If the connector does not move, keep the retainer tabs pressed down, and alternately pull and push the connector until it comes off easily.
    • Do not remove the retainer from the line; once removed, the retainer must be replaced with a new one.
