FUEL AND EXHAUST SYSTEMS

QUICK-CONNECT FUEL LINE FITTINGS | REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

8. New quick-connect fuel line fittings were introduced on 1989 and later models. A special tool (available at most auto parts stores) is required to disconnect them.
9. To separate the fuel lines, relieve the fuel system pressure (see Section 2), insert the fuel line separator tool into the fitting and pull the lines apart.
10. To reattach quick-connect fittings, push the line into the fitting as far as possible, then pull back on it to verify that the connection is secure. WARNING: The line must be pushed in and pulled back to verify proper connector engagement - DO NOT rely on an audible click or visual verification to check the assembly of the quick-connect fittings.
RUBBER HOSE
11. When rubber hose is used to replace a metal line, use reinforced, fuel resistant hose with the word "Flouroelastomer" imprinted on it. Hose(s) not clearly marked like this could fail prematurely and could fail to meet Federal emission standards. Hose inside diameter must match line outside diameter.
12. Don't use rubber hose within four inches of any part of the exhaust system or within ten inches of the catalytic converter. Metal lines and rubber hoses must never be allowed to chafe against the frame. A minimum of 1/4-inch clearance must be maintained around a line or hose to prevent contact with the frame.
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
(Refer to illustrations 4.13, 4.19 and 4.20) NOTE: The following procedure and accompanying illustrations are typical for vehicles covered by this manual.
13. Relieve the fuel pressure and disconnect the fuel feed, return or vapor line at the fuel tank (see illustration).
14. Detach the bracket from the rear crossmember.
