Quick Connect Fitting(S) Service (Metal Collar): Installation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Pontiac Vibe. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire and personal injury, before connecting fuel pipe fittings, always apply a few drops of clean engine oil to the male pipe ends. This will ensure proper reconnection and prevent a possible fuel leak. During normal operation, the "O" rings located in the female connector will swell and may prevent proper reconnection if not lubricated.
- Apply a few drops of clean engine oil onto the male pipe end.
- Push both sides of the fitting together to cause the retaining tabs to snap into place.
- After installation, pull both sides of the fitting to make sure the connection is secure.
