CAUTION: The interior components (O-rings, spacers, retainers) of this type of quick-connect fitting are not serviced separately. Do not
attempt to repair damaged fittings or fuel lines/tubes. If repair is necessary, replace the complete fuel tube assembly.
WARNING: The fuel system is under a constant pressure (even with the engine off). Before servicing any fuel system hoses, fittings or lines, the
fuel system pressure must be released. Refer to the fuel system pressure release procedure. This may result in personal injury or death.
