Fuel Line Coupler: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION
Quick-connect type fittings provide a simplified means of installing and connecting fuel system components. There are metal collar and plastic types of
quick-connect fittings used at different locations in the fuel system.
OPERATION
Each type consists of a unique female socket and a compatible male connector. O-rings, located inside the female socket, provide the fuel seal. Integral
locking tabs or fingers hold the fittings together. The quick-connect fittings used at the fuel filter and other connections at the rear of the vehicle have
hand re-leasable locking tabs. The fittings used at the engine fuel pipes have locking tabs that require a special tool to release.
