Quick Connect Coupling
QUICK CONNECT COUPLINGDisconnect - Type I
WARNING:
- Do not smoke or carry lighted tobacco or open flame of any type when working on or near any fuel-related component. Highly flammable mixtures are always present and may be ignited. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
- Fuel in the fuel system remains under high pressure even when the engine is not running. Before repairing or disconnecting any of the fuel lines or fuel system components, the fuel system pressure must be relieved to prevent accidental spraying of fuel, which can cause a fire hazard. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
- Do not carry personal electronic devices such as cell phones, pagers or audio equipment of any type when working on or near any fuel-related components. Highly flammable mixtures are always present and can be ignited. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
- This procedure involves fuel handling. Be prepared for fuel spillage at all times and always observe fuel handling precautions. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
CAUTION:
- If the liquid or vapor tube is damaged (torn, holes or delaminated), a new tube assembly must be installed. Do not use aftermarket sleeving. Do not re-adhere loose sleeving material.
- Fuel injection equipment is manufactured to very precise tolerances and fine clearances. It is therefore essential that absolute cleanliness is observed when working with these components. Always install blanking plugs to any open orifices or tubes.
- When reusing liquid or vapor tube connectors, make sure to use compressed air to remove any foreign material from the connector retaining clip area before separating from the tube. Apply clean engine oil to the end of the tube before inserting the tube into the connector.
- Do not use any tools. Use of tools may cause a deformity in the coupling components which can cause fuel leaks.
NOTE: During the repair or replacement of fuel-related components, all fuel liquid and fuel vapor openings shall be capped, taped or otherwise appropriately protected to prevent the ingress of dirt or other contamination. All caps, tape and other protective materials shall be removed prior to installation.
1. If servicing a liquid fuel tube, release the fuel system pressure.
2. Disconnect the battery ground cable.
3. Unclip the locking tab.
4. Depress the tabs and press the clip downward.
5. Separate the quick connect coupling.
Connect - Type I
1. Inspect the quick connect coupling and the tube for damage. Remove any dirt or obstructions.

NOTE: Lubricate the quick connect coupling with clean engine oil.
Connect the quick connect coupling.
3. Push the clip up into the quick connect coupling. Pull on the tube to make sure it is seated correctly.
4. Clip the locking tab in place.
Disconnect - Type II
WARNING:
- The evaporative emissions system contains fuel vapor and condensed fuel vapor. Although not present in large quantities, it still presents danger of explosion or fire. Disconnect the battery ground cable from the battery to minimize the possibility of an electrical spark occurring, possibly causing a fire or explosion if fuel vapor or liquid fuel are present in the area. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
