Wash & dry the top of the pump plate before disconnecting the lines or loosening the lock ring. Before attempting to disconnect the fuel lines, wash the dirt out and read this caption:


After thoroughly blasting the mud out with a garden hose, shop air, brake cleaner; push the fuel line HARD onto the fitting (pump or filter) to relieve the catches, & rotate it to break the O-rings loose. While holding it on the fitting, insert the release tool as far as it will go (this one isn't there yet) to open the catches. While holding the tool HARD against the stop ring, work the line off the tool & fitting. It may be necessary to rinse the dirt out of the line end to allow the catches to open.

Blue supply lines are 3/8"; gray return lines are 5/16".
