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 (USA and Canada models)
• Replacing the EVAP purge line (USA and Canada models)
• Replacing the fuel fill pipe (USA and Canada models)
• 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.
