Standard Procedure: Connecting
- Inspect quick-connect fitting body and fuel system component for damage. Replace as necessary.
- Prior to connecting quick-connect fitting to component being serviced, check condition of fitting and component. Clean parts with a lint-free cloth. Lubricate with clean engine oil.
- Insert quick-connect fitting into fuel tube or fuel system component until built-on stop on fuel tube or component rests against back of fitting.
- Continue pushing until a click is felt.
- Redundant Latch Single Button Type Fitting: Push redundant latch until it locks into position in the quick-connect fitting.
- Single-tab type fitting: Push new tab down until it locks into place in quick-connect fitting.
- Latch Clip Equipped: Install latch clip (snaps into position). If latch clip will not fit, this indicates fuel line is not properly installed to fuel rail (or other fuel line). Recheck fuel line connection.
- Verify a locked condition by firmly pulling on the quick-connect fitting connection of the fuel system component.
