fuel tank, it is necessary to disconnect or connect the quick-connect fittings. Pay attention to following:
-
The fuel tube/quick-connect fittings assembly is not heat-resistant; be careful not to damage it during welding or other heat-generating
procedures.

electrolyte. Replace the fuel tube/quick-connect fittings assembly if it came into contact with electrolyte or something similar.
-
When connecting or disconnecting the fuel tube/quick- connect fittings assembly, be careful not to bend or twist it excessively. Replace it if
damaged.
A disconnected quick-connect fitting can be reconnected, but the retainer on the mating pipe cannot be reused once it has been removed from the
pipe. Replace the retainer when
-
