Quick Connect Coupling
QUICK CONNECT COUPLINGDisconnect
WARNING:
- When working on or near the evaporative emission (EVAP) system, disconnect the battery ground cable from the battery. The EVAP system contains fuel vapor and condensed fuel vapor, so an electrical spark may cause a fire or explosion. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.
- Do not smoke, carry lighted tobacco or have an 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 serious personal injury.
- Before working on or disconnecting any of the fuel tubes or fuel system components, relieve the fuel system pressure to prevent accidental spraying of fuel. Fuel in the fuel system remains under high pressure, even when the engine is not running. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious 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 component. Highly flammable mixtures are always present and may be ignited. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.
- When handling fuel, always observe fuel handling precautions and be prepared in the event of fuel spillage. Spilled fuel may be ignited by hot vehicle components or other ignition sources. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.
CAUTION:
- Fuel injection equipment is manufactured to very precise tolerances and fine clearances. It is essential that absolute cleanliness is observed when working with these components or component damage may occur. Always install 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 or damage to the tube or connector retaining clip may occur. Apply clean engine oil to the end of the tube before inserting the tube into the connector.
- Do not use any tools. The use of tools may cause a deformity in the clip components which may cause fuel leaks.
NOTE: During the repair or replacement of fuel-related components, all fuel liquid and fuel vapor openings must be capped, taped or otherwise appropriately protected to prevent the ingress of dirt or other contamination. All caps, tape and other protective materials must be removed prior to installation.
1. If servicing a liquid fuel tube, release the fuel system pressure.
2. Disconnect the battery ground cable.
3. Disconnect the fuel tube quick connect coupling.
- Press the fuel tube quick connect coupling button and pull the fuel tube to disconnect.
Connect
1. Inspect the quick connect coupling and the tube for damage. Remove any dirt or obstructions.
2. NOTE:
- Make sure the fuel tube clicks into place when installing the tube. To make sure that the fuel tube is fully seated, pull on the tube.
- Apply clean engine oil to O-ring seals.
Install the quick connect coupling onto the tube until it is fully seated.
