Plastic Retainer Ring Type Fitting

6. Plastic Retainer Ring Type Fitting: This type of fitting can be identified by the use of a full-round plastic retainer ring usually black in color.

a. To release fuel system component from quick-connect fitting, firmly push fitting towards component being serviced while firmly pushing

plastic retainer ring into fitting. With plastic ring depressed, pull fitting from component. The plastic retainer ring must be pressed squarely
into fitting body. If this retainer is cocked  during removal, it may be difficult to disconnect fitting. Use an open-end wrench on shoulder of
plastic retainer ring to aid in disconnection.

b. After disconnection, plastic retainer ring will remain with quick-connect fitting connector body.
c. Inspect fitting connector body, plastic retainer ring and fuel system component for damage. Replace as necessary.
