Quick Connect Coupling

Disconnect - Type I

WARNING: Do not smoke, carry lighted tobacco or have an open flame of any type when working on or near any fuel-related component. Highly flammable mixtures are always present and may be ignited. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.

WARNING: Do not carry personal electronic devices such as cell phones, pagers or audio equipment of any type when working on or near any fuel-related component. Highly flammable mixtures are always present and may be ignited. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.

WARNING: Before working on or disconnecting any of the fuel tubes or fuel system components, relieve the fuel system pressure to prevent accidental spraying of fuel. Fuel in the fuel system remains under high pressure, even when the engine is not running. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.

WARNING: Always disconnect the battery ground cable at the battery when working on an evaporative emission (EVAP) system or fuel-related component. Highly flammable mixtures are always present and may be ignited. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.

NOTICE: 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 or damage to the tube or connector retaining clip can occur.

NOTICE: Fuel injection equipment is manufactured to very precise tolerances and fine clearances. It is essential that absolute cleanliness is observed when working with these components or component damage can occur. Always install plugs to any open orifices or tubes.

NOTICE: Do not use any tools. The use of tools may cause a deformity in the clip components which may cause fuel leaks.

1. If servicing a liquid fuel tube quick connect coupling, release the fuel system pressure. For additional information, refer to Fuel System Pressure Release Service and Repair.

2. Disconnect the battery ground cable.

3. Squeeze the quick connect coupling retainer clip tabs to release the locking mechanism.





4. Push the locking mechanism outward to release the tube.





5. Remove the quick connect coupling from the tube.





Connect - Type I

1. Install the quick connect coupling onto the tube.





2. Depress the quick connect coupling locking mechanism into the locked position.





3. NOTE: Make sure the coupling is completely seated and locked onto the tube by pulling on the quick connect coupling.
Visually inspect and verify that the locking mechanism is flush with the quick connect coupling housing and that the tabs are locked in place.






4. Connect the battery ground cable.

Disconnect - Type II
