• Make sure the two retainer pawls are en-

gaged in their mating positions in the quick

connector.

• Be sure to inspect tubes and their connec-

tions for any leakage of fuel.

• To connect the connector, hold (d) shown in

the figure and push in axial direction.

• When connecting the connector, do not bend

or twist the tube forcibly. If the tube is bent, re-

place with a new part.

3. CONNECTING FUEL DELIVERY HOSE,
