Fuel Line Disconnect Fittings: Installation
WARNING:
In order to reduce the risk of fire and personal injury, before connecting fuel pipe fittings, always apply a few drops of clean engine oil to male pipe end. This will ensure proper reconnection and prevent a possible fuel leak. During normal operation, "O" rings located in female connector will swell and may prevent proper reconnection if not lubricated.
Apply a few drops of clean engine oil to male pipe end. Push both sides of fitting together to cause the retaining tabs to snap into place. Once installed, pull on both sides of fitting to make sure connection is secure. Install retainer over quick-connect fitting.
