PeterBaron is right, have a set of the parts on hand, replace them, and keep the old parts as emergency spares. You can't get by without them, and there's no way to cheat. Definitely order at least one of each part - less than $10 for all 4. You only need to disconnect one end of the fuel line, but the same fittings are at either end.
Don't forget to disconnect the tank vent and the overflow drain hoses too.
Have someone lift the tank up as you will need both hands underneath. Pull back the black rubber piece #3 away and slide it sideways. Only then will you be able to push the 2 sides of the green #11 lock piece together, and slide the hose away from the plastic spigot. If you don't remove the black #3 rubber piece, you can squeeze and swear all day long and nothing will happen. Don't ask me how I know.
