TITLE: Quick Connect Fuel Line Tool
APPLIES TO: ALL
SERVICE TIP:
A new special tool is being provided to aid in the removal of the quick connect fuel lines used on Kia vehicles, particularly Rio fuel rails. Use of the
new tool will make it easier to remove the fuel line so you run less risk of cracking the fuel inlet nipple on the fuel rail. Use the following procedure to
disconnect the fuel lines.
1. Push fuel line towards fitting. (Release pressure in line first by cranking with fuel pump relay or fuse removed.)
2. Install tool onto fuel line release tabs.
3. Pull gently on tool and pull fuel line off from fitting.
4. Remove tool from fuel line.
5. To reconnect fuel line, push line onto fitting until a click is felt. Pull gently to test, check for leaks when starting vehicle.
WARNING
Use caution when working under the hood of a Rio vehicle not to exert pressure on the fuel line from the fuel rail to the bulkhead. Cracking of the fuel
rail inlet could result causing a fuel leak which could ignite causing burns, death, or other personal injury.
