Quick Connect Coupling: Disconnect
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, resulting in possible personal injury.
WARNING:
Fuel in the fuel system remains under high pressure even when the engine is not running. Before servicing or disconnecting any of the fuel lines or fuel system components, the fuel system pressure must be relieved to prevent accidental spraying of fuel, causing possible injury or a fire hazard.
- Release the fuel system pressure. For additional information, refer to FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE RELEASE .
- Disconnect the fuel tube quick release coupling.
- Push the connector towards the tube to release pressure.
- Press the fuel tube quick release coupling button and pull the fuel tube to disconnect.
CAUTION:
When reusing liquid connectors, make sure to use compressed air to remove any foreign material from the connector retaining clip area before separating the tube.
NOTE:
If the fuel tube or retainer clip is broken or damaged, install a new clip, using a suitable fuel line disconnect tool to separate the retainer clip legs. Once the retainer clip legs have been separated, lift the clip out of the connector housing, lifting from the stamped side of the connector body.
