Fuel Tube/Quick-Connect Fittings Installation

Check the contact area (A) of the pipe (B) for dirt and damage, and clean if necessary.

Fig 1: Checking Contact Area For Dirt & Damage
Insert a new retainer (A) into the connector (B) if the retainer is damaged, or after
- replacing the fuel rail.
- replacing the fuel feed pipe.
- replacing the fuel pump.
- replacing the fuel filter.
- replacing the fuel gauge sending unit
- removing the retainer from the pipe.
Fig 2: Inserting Retainer Into Connector
Before connecting a new fuel tube/quick connect fitting assembly (A), remove the old retainer from the mating pipe.

Fig 3: Connecting Fuel Tube/Quick Connect Fitting Assembly
Align the quick-connect fittings with the pipe (A), and align the retainer (B) locking pawls with the connector (C) grooves. Then press the quick-connect fittings onto the pipe until both retainer pawls lock with a clicking sound.
NOTE: If it is hard to connect, put a small amount of new engine oil on the pipe end.

Make sure the connection is secure and that the pawls are firmly locked into place; check visually and by pulling the connector.

Fig 6: Ensuring That Connection Is Secure
Reconnect the negative cable to the battery, and turn the ignition switch ON (II). The fuel pump will run for about 2 seconds, and fuel pressure will rise. Repeat 2 or 3 times, and check that there is no leakage in the fuel supply system.
