WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Pontiac Sunfire and 2003 Chevrolet Cavalier. 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 end. 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 to the male pipe end.
- Push both sides of the fitting together to cause the retaining tabs to snap into place.
- Once installed, pull on both sides of the fitting to ensure the connection is secure.
- Reposition the dust cover over the quick-connect fitting.
