Fuel Line Coupler: Service Precautions
Fuel Line/Quick-Connect Fitting Precaution
The fuel line/quick-connect fittings connect the fuel rail (A) to fuel feed line (B), the fuel feed line (B) to the fuel pipe (C), and the fuel line (D) to the
fuel tank unit (E). When removing or installing the fuel feed hose, fuel tank unit or fuel tank, it is necessary to disconnect or connect the quick-connect
fittings.
Pay attention to the following:
-
The fuel feed hose (B), fuel line (D), and quick-connect fittings (E) are not heat-resistant; be careful not to damage them during welding or other
heat-generating procedures.
-
The fuel feed hose (B), fuel line (D), and quick-connect fittings (E) are not acid-proof; do not touch them with a shop towel used for wiping
battery electrolyte. Replace them if they came into contact with electrolyte or something similar.
-
When connecting or disconnecting the fuel feed hose (B), fuel line (D), and quick-connect fittings (E), be careful not to bend or twist them
excessively. Replace them if they are damaged.
A disconnected quick-connect fitting can be reconnected, but the retainer on the mating line cannot be reused once it has been removed from the line.
