- Inspect the quick-connect fitting body and fuel system components for damage. Replace as necessary.
- Prior to connecting any quick-connect fitting to components, check condition of fitting and components. Clean parts with a lint-free cloth. Lubricate with clean engine oil.
- Insert the quick-connect fitting onto the fuel tube or fuel system component until the built-in stop on the fuel tube or component rests against the back of fitting.
- Continue pushing until a click is felt.
- If Equipped:
- Redundant Latch Single Button Type Fitting: Push redundant latch until it locks into position in the quick-connect fitting.
- Single Tab Type Fitting: Push new tab down until it locks into position in the quick-connect fitting.
- Latch Clip Type Fitting: Install latch clip (snaps into position). If latch clip will not snap into position, this indicates the quick-connect fitting is not properly installed onto fuel system component, recheck the connection.
- Verify a locked condition by firmly pulling on the quick-connect fitting connection of the fuel system component.
