2. Blow dirt out of the fitting using compressed air.
3. Squeeze the plastic tabs of the male end connector.
4. Pull the connection apart.
Notice: Use an emery cloth in order to remove rust or burrs from the fuel pipe. Use a radial motion with the fuel pipe end in order to prevent
damage to the O-ring sealing surface.
5. Wipe off the male pipe end using a clean shop towel.
6. Inspect both ends of the fitting for dirt and burrs.
7. Clean or replace the components as required.
Installation Procedure
Caution: In order to reduce the risk of fire and personal injury, before connecting fuel pipe fittings, always apply a few drops of clean engine
oil to the male pipe ends.
This will ensure proper reconnection and prevent a possible fuel leak.
During normal operation, the O-rings located in the female connector will swell and may prevent proper reconnection if not lubricated.
