RAM 3500 Truck 2WD V8-5.7L (2008)
Fuel Line Coupler: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION
Different types of quick-connect fittings are used to attach the various fuel system components, lines and tubes. These are: a single-button type, a
two-button type, a pinch type, a single-tab type, a two-tab type or a plastic retainer ring type. Some are equipped with safety latch clips. Some may
require the use of a special tool for disconnection and removal. See: Service and Repair
CAUTION: Before separating a quick-connect fitting, pay attention to what type of fitting is being used by referring to Quick-Connect Fitting
Removal. This will prevent unnecessary fitting or fitting latch breakage.
CAUTION: The interior components (O-rings, clips) of quick-connect fittings are not serviced separately, but new plastic spacers and latches
are available for some types. If service parts are not available, do not attempt to repair the damaged fitting or fuel line (tube). If repair is
necessary, replace the complete fuel line (tube) assembly.
