Vapor Tube Fittings: Connect

CAUTION: When reusing liquid or vapor tube connectors, make sure to use compressed air to remove any foreign material from the connector retaining clip area before separating from the tube.

CAUTION: Make sure the quick connect fitting clicks into place when installing the tube. To make sure that the quick connect fitting is fully seated, pull on the tube.

NOTE: If the fuel tube retainer clip is broken or damaged, install a new clip using a suitable fuel line disconnect tool to separate the retaining clip legs. Once the retainer legs have been separated, lift the clip out of the connector housing, lifting from the stamped side of the connector body.

NOTE: Apply clean engine oil to the end of the tube or fitting before connecting.
