I'm installing a PVC and auto tune sensor
Have tank up but the quick disconnect is plastic n I don't want to break it. Van see a metal ring inside. Not sure if that has to come off to get fuel line disconnected .
[ul] [li]Pull and release the rubber cap from the retainer.[/li] [li]Hold the connector with one hand and squeeze the retainer tabs with the other hand to release them from the locking pals.[/li] [li]Pull the connector off, then remove the rubber cap and retainer from the fuel joint.[/li] [li]If the connector does not move, keep the retainer tabs pressed down, and alternately pull and push the connector until it comes off easily.

It also says to relieve the fuel pressure before doing that:
[ul] [li]Turn ignition switch OFF.[/li] [li]Remove left side cover.[/li] [li]Disconnect the fuel pump 3P (black) connector.[/li] [li]Turn the ignition switch ON, start the engine, and let it idle until the engine stalls.[/li] [li]Turn the ignition switch OFF.[/li] [li]Disconnect the battery negative cable.

For stuff like this, you should probably invest the $65 or whatever it is in the shop manual. It's well worth it.
Thx az bob
I really should get a Manuel.
That release is tricky.
Prob would've broke it w out your response.
Now onto that PVC
I thought I'd never get that connector off and the manual warns do not use pliers. When it was time to put it back, I got ready to do battle and --snic, done. WTH? That's it? No leaks, all was good. Smile

Same thing happened to me. Fight it for 20 minutes and suddendly it pops off.
