Plastic Retainer Ring Type Fitting
This type of fitting can be identified by the use of a round plastic retainer ring (4) usually black in color. Special tools are not required for removal.
NOTE:
The round plastic retainer ring must be pressed squarely into the quick-connect fitting body. If this retainer is cocked during removal it will be difficult to disconnect the quick-connect fitting. Use an open-end wrench on the shoulder of the plastic retainer ring to aid in disconnection.
- Firmly push the quick-connect fitting (5) towards the component being serviced while firmly pushing the round plastic retainer ring into the quick-connect fitting (6). With the round plastic ring depressed, remove the quick-connect fitting from the fuel system component.
- After removal the plastic retainer ring will remain with the quick-connect fitting.
