The fuel line/quick-connect fittings (A), (B) connect the fuel tank unit to the fuel feed line and the fuel return line. When removing or installing the fuel pump and fuel tank, it is necessary to disconnect or connect the quick-connect fittings.
Pay attention to the following:
- The fuel feed hose (C), fuel return hose (D), and quick-connect fittings are not heat-resistant; be careful not to damage them during welding or other heat-generating procedures.
- The fuel feed hose, fuel return hose, and quick-connect fittings are not acid-proof; do not touch them with a shop towel that was used for wiping battery electrolyte. Replace them if they come in contact with electrolyte or something similar.
- When connecting or disconnecting the fuel feed hose, fuel return hose, and quick-connect fittings, be careful not to bend or twist them excessively. Replace them if they are damaged.
