Warning: Wear safety glasses when using compressed air in order to prevent eye injury.
Caution: Use an emery cloth in order to remove rust or burrs from the fuel pipe. Use a radial motion with the fuel pipe end in order to prevent damage to the O-ring sealing surface.
Installation Procedure
Warning: In order to reduce the risk of fire and personal injury, before connecting fuel pipe fittings, always apply a few drops of clean engine oil to the male pipe ends.
This will ensure proper reconnection and prevent a possible fuel leak. During normal operation, the O-rings located in the female connector will swell and may prevent proper reconnection if not lubricated.- Push both sides of the quick-connect fitting together in order to cause the retaining tabs/fingers to snap into place.
- Pull on both sides of the quick connect fitting in order to make sure the connection is secure.
Apply a few drops of clean engine oil to the male pipe end.
