Quick-Connect Fittings

Quick-connect type fittings provide a simplified means of installing and connecting fuel system components. There are metal collar and plastic types of quick-connect fittings used at different locations in the fuel system. Each type consists of a unique female socket and a compatible male connector. O-rings, located inside the female socket, provide the fuel seal. Integral locking tabs or fingers hold the fittings together. The quick-connect fittings used at the fuel filter and other connections at the rear of the vehicle have hand re-leasable locking tabs. The fittings used at the engine fuel pipes have locking tabs that require a special tool to release.
