The fuel line/quick-connect fittings (A), (B), (C), (D), and
(E) connect the fuel rail (F) to fuel feed hose A (G), fuel
feed hose A to fuel feed hose B (H), fuel feed hose B to
the fuel line (I), the fuel line (J) to the fuel tank unit (K),
the fuel vapor line (L) to the EVAP canister (M) and the
fuel tank vapor recirculation tube (N) to the fuel fill pipe
(O). When removing or installing the fuel feed hose, the
fuel tank unit, or the fuel tank, you need to disconnect
or connect the quick-connect fittings.
Pay attention to the following: The fuel feed hoses, the fuel line, and the quick- connect fittings are not heat-resistant; be careful not
to damage them during welding or other heat-
generating procedures.
The fuel feed hoses, the fuel line, and the quick- connect fittings are not acid-proof; do not touch them
with a shop towel that was used for wiping battery
electrolyte. Replace them if they come in contact with
electrolyte or something similar.
When connecting or disconnecting the fuel feed hoses, the fuel line, and the quick-connect fittings, be
careful not to bend or twist them excessively. Replace
them if they are damaged.
A disconnected quick-connect fitting can be
reconnected, but the retainer on the mating line cannot
be reused once it has been removed from the line.
Replace the retainer when: replacing the fuel rail.
replacing the fuel line.
replacing the fuel pump.
replacing the fuel filter.
replacing the fuel gauge sending unit.
replacing the EVAP purge line.
replacing the EVAP canister.
replacing the fuel tank.

NOTE: Before you work on the fuel lines and fittings,
read the Fuel Line/Quick-Connect Fitting Precautions
(see page 11-328).
1. Relieve the fuel pressure (see page 11-322).
2. Check the fuel quick-connect fittings (A) for dirt, and clean them if needed.
3. Place a rag or shop towel over the quick-connectfitting. Hold the connector (A) with one hand, and
squeeze the retainer tabs (B) with the other hand to
release them from the locking tabs (C). Pull the
connector off.
NOTE: Be careful not to damage the line (D) or other parts.
Do not use tools.
If the connector does not move, keep the retainer tabs pressed down, and alternately pull and push
the connector until it comes off easily.
Do not remove the retainer from the line; once removed, the retainer must be replaced with a
new one.

4. Check the contact area (A) of the line (B) for dirt ordamage.
If it is dirty, clean it, then dry it with the compressed air.
If it is rusty or damaged, replace the fuel filter or fuel feed line. 5. To prevent damage and keep foreign matter out,
cover the disconnected connector and line ends
with plastic bags (A).
NOTE: The retainer cannot be reused once it has
been removed from the line.
Replace the retainer when: replacing the fuel rail.

NOTE: Before you work on the fuel lines and fittings,
read the Fuel Line/Quick-Connect Fitting Precautions
(see page 11-328). 1. Check the contact area (A) of the line (B) for dirt or damage, and clean it if needed.
2. Insert a new retainer (A) into the connector (B) if the retainer is damaged, or after:
replacing the fuel rail.
replacing the fuel feed line.
replacing the fuel pump.
replacing the fuel filter.
replacing the fuel gauge sending unit.
replacing the EVAP purge pipe.
replacing the EVAP canister.
replacing the fuel tank.
replacing the fuel fill pipe.
removing the retainer from the line.
Use the same manufacturer’s retainer and the same size when replacing the retainer (see page
11-328). 3. Before connecting a new fuel tube/quick-connect
fitting assembly (A), remove the old retainer (B)
from the mating line.

4. Align the quick-connect fittings with the line (A),
and align the retainer locking tabs (B) with the
connector grooves (C). Then press the quick-
connect fittings onto the line until both retainer tabs
lock with a clicking sound.
NOTE: If it is hard to connect, put a small amount of
new engine oil on the line end.

5. When you reconnect the connector with the old
retainer, make sure the connection is secure and
the tabs (A) are firmly locked into place; check
visually and also by pulling the connector (B).
When you replace the fuel line with a new one,
make sure you remove the ring pull (C) upwards
after you confirm the connection is secure.
NOTE: Before you remove the ring pull, make sure
the fuel line connection is secure. If the connection
is not secure, the ring pull could break when you try
to remove it. 6. Reconnect the negative cable to the battery, and
turn the ignition switch to ON (II) (but do not
operate the starter motor). The fuel pump will run
for about 2 seconds, and fuel pressure will rise.
Repeat this two or three times, then check that
there is no leakage in the fuel supply system.
