• There are two types of quick release connectors.
Quick release connector locations
Type A
• Used in the engine compartment.
• An SST is not used with this type.
• Mainly consists of a retainer and O-ring. The quick release connector is integrated with the fuel hose and therefore cannot be disassembled.
• When the quick release connector is connected, the fuel pipe projection is locked at the clamp lock point. By pushing the clamp release tab to expand the clamp, the lock point is released allowing the fuel pipe to be disconnected.
• To connect the quick release connector properly, push it into the fuel pipe until a locking click sound is heard.
• New quick release connectors are fitted with a checker tab that prevents improper fit. This checker tab cannot normally be removed. When the quick release connector is properly connected to the fuel pipe, the lock is released and the checker tab comes off. Due to this, it can be verified that the quick release connector is completely connected.
Type B
• When removing the quick connector, either of the 2 types of SSTs can be used.
• The connector can be disconnected by pinching the retainer tab with the SST and pulling the connector.
• To connect the quick release connector properly, push it into the fuel pipe until a locking click sound is heard.
• New quick release connectors are fitted with a checker tab that prevents improper fit. This checker tab cannot normally be removed. When the quick release connector is properly connected to the fuel pipe, the lock is released and the checker tab comes off. Due to this, it can be verified that the quick release connector is completely connected.
