Vapor Tube Fittings: Connect
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Ford Pickup. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Connect the quick connect fitting.
CAUTION:
When reusing liquid or vapor tube connectors, make sure to use compressed air to remove any foreign material from the connector retaining clip area before separating from the tube.
CAUTION:
Make sure the quick release fitting clicks into place when installing the tube. To make sure that the quick release fitting is fully seated, pull on the tube.
NOTE:
If the fuel tube retainer clip is broken or damaged, install a new clip using a suitable fuel line disconnect tool to separate the retaining clip legs. Once the retainer legs have been separated, lift the clip out of the connector housing, lifting from the stamped side of the connector body.
NOTE:
Apply clean engine oil to the end of the tube or fitting before connecting.
