Fuel Line/Quick-Connect Fitting Precautions
When removing or installing the fuel feed hose/line, or when disconnecting or connecting the quick-connect fittings, pay attention to the following:
NOTE:
Replace the fuel feed hose, fuel line, or the quick-connect fitting to new one if it is damaged.
- No heat-resistance; Be careful not to damage them during welding or other heat-generating procedures.
- No acid-proof; Do not touch them with a shop towel that was used for wiping 12 volt battery electrolyte or something similar.
- No stress-resistance; Be careful not to bend or twist the fuel feed hose/line excessively.
A disconnected quick-connect fitting can be reconnected, but the retainer on the mating line cannot be reused once it has been removed from the line. Replace the retainer when:
- Replacing the fuel feed line (high pressure fuel pump)
- Replacing the fuel line
- Replacing the fuel tank unit
- Replacing the fuel filter
- Replacing the EVAP canister
- Replacing the EVAP purge line
- Replacing the fuel fill pipe
- Replacing the fuel tank
- The retainer has been removed from the pipe
- The retainer is damaged
NOTE:
Use the same manufacturer retainer and the same size retainer when the replacing the retainer.
