- Disconnect the quick-connect fitting (A): Hold the connector (B) with one hand and squeeze the retainer tabs (C) with the other hand to release them from the locking pawls (D). Pull the connector off.
NOTE:
- Prevent the remaining fuel in the fuel feed pipe or hose from flowing out with a rag or shop towel.
- Be careful not to damage the pipe (E) or other parts.
- Do not use tools.
- If the connector does not move, keep the retainer tabs pressed down, and alternately pull and push the connector until it comes off easily.
- Do not remove the retainer from the pipe; once removed, the retainer must be replaced with a new one.
- After disconnecting the quick-connect fitting, check it for dirt or damage (see step 4 on page 11-435).
