Fuel Line/Quick-Connect Fitting Installation
1. Check the contact area (A) of the line (B) for dirt or damage, and clean it if needed.
2. Insert a new retainer (A) into the connector (B) if the retainer is damaged, or after:
- replacing new part which does not pack with the suitable retainer. (a fuel line, a fuel tank unit etc.)
- removing the retainer from the line.
NOTE: Use the same manufacturer retainer and the same size retainer when the replacing the retainer.
3. Before connecting a new fuel line/quick-connect fittings, remove the old retainer from the mating line.
4. Align the quick-connect fittings (A) with the line (B), and align the retainer (C) locking tabs with the connector grooves.

5. Press the quick-connect fittings onto the line until both retainer tabs lock with a clicking sound.
NOTE: If it is hard to connect, put a small amount of new engine oil on the line end.
6. When replacing the fuel line with a new retainer as a set, make sure you remove the ring pull upwards after you confirm the connection is secure.
NOTE: Before you remove the ring pull, make sure the fuel line connection is secure. If the connection is not secure, the ring pull could break when you try to remove it.
7. Make sure the connection is secure and the tabs are firmly locked into place; check visually and also by pulling the connector.
8. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode, but do not start the engine. After the fuel pump runs for about 2 seconds, the fuel line will be pressurized. Repeat this two or three times, then check for fuel leakage.
9. Set the groove of the quick-connect fitting cover on the fuel line as shown, then install it. Make sure the cover is firmly locked in place.
