Fuel Line Coupler: Service and Repair

Fuel Line Disconnect/Connect Procedure




Disconnect the quick connectors as follows:
- Hold the sides of the connector, push in tubs and pull out the tube.
- If the connector and the tube are stuck together, push and pull several times until they start to move. Then disconnect them by pulling.

CAUTION:
- The tube can be removed when the tabs are completely depressed. Do not twist it more than necessary.
- Do not use any tools to remove the quick connector.
- Keep the resin tube away from heat. Be especially careful when welding near the tube.
- Prevent acid liquid such as battery electrolyte, from getting on the resin tube.
- Do not bend or twist the tube during installation and removal.
- Only when the tube is replaced, remove the remaining retainer on the tube or fuel level sensor, fuel filter, and fuel pump assembly.
- When the tube or fuel level sensor, fuel filter, and fuel pump assembly is replaced, also replace the retainer with a new one (green colored retainer).




- To keep the connecting portion clean and to avoid damage and foreign materials, cover them completely with plastic bags or something similar.




Connect the quick connector as follows:
- Check the connection for damage or any foreign materials.
- Align the connector with the tube, then insert the connector straight into the tube until a click is heard.
- After the tube is connected, make sure the connection is secure by pulling on the tube and the connector to make sure they are securely connected.




- Visually confirm that the two retainer tabs are connected to the quick connector.
