Quick Connect Fitting: Description
Different types of quick-connect fittings are used to attach the various fuel system components, lines and tubes. These are: a single-button type, a two-button type, a pinch type, a single-tab type, a two-tab type or a plastic retainer ring type. Some are equipped with safety latch clips. Some may require the use of a special tool for disconnection and removal. Refer to Quick-Connect Fittings Disconnecting/Connecting for more information.
CAUTION:
Before separating a quick-connect fitting, pay attention to what type of fitting is being used by referring to the appropriate Quick-Connect Fitting Disconnect Procedure
. This will prevent unnecessary fitting or fitting latch breakage.
CAUTION:
The interior components (o-rings, clips) of quick-connect fittings are not serviced separately, but new plastic spacers and latches are available for some types. If service parts are not available, do not attempt to repair the damaged fitting or fuel line (tube). If repair is necessary, replace the complete fuel line (tube) assembly.
