Quick-Connect Fittings

QUICK-CONNECT FITTINGS
Different types of quick-connect fittings are used to attach various fuel system components. These are: a single-tab type, a two-tab type or a plastic retainer ring type. Some are equipped with safety latch clips. Refer to the Removal/installation for more information.

CAUTION: The interior components (O-rings, spacers) 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.

Plastic Quick-Connect Fittings:




Fuel tubes connect fuel system components with plastic quick-connect fuel fittings. The fitting contains non-serviceable O-ring seals.

CAUTION: Quick-connect fittings are not serviced separately. Do not attempt to repair damaged quickconnect fittings or fuel tubes. Replace the complete fuel tube/quick-connect fitting assembly.

The quick-connect fitting consists of the O-rings, retainer and casing. When the fuel tube enters the fitting, the retainer locks the shoulder of the nipple in place and the O-rings seal the tube.
