Okay, I have looked at the pictures in the shop manual and for whatever reason, I just haven't been able to do it! Can anyone give me a better description of what has to happen? Maybe I'm being to gentle because I don't want to break one of those parts...Maybe I'm pulling on the wrong part...HELP! There is the rubber hose that leads to the injector. At the end of the rubber hose there is a black plastic doohickey that bends at a 90 degree angle which appears to be the part that goes into the pump. Does this whole black plastic doohickey come out? do I just take the doohickey off the rubber hose and leave the doohickey connected to the tank? When I finally do disconnect the tank is gasoline gonna shoot everywhere? Thanks in advance!
You mean that's not clear to you? LOL!!! I read it five times and I'm still confused. Hopefully somebody who'd done this before stops by soon. I had these same questions the other day.
Yeah I didn't get that part either. I just removed the tank and disconnected the hose at it's other end near the frame
looks like a standard FI fitting, the outer ring should move towards the tank to release the hose, like a clip.
So you're saying to push that small black outer ring (see red arrow) in towards the fuel pump then the hose will come out? That sounds like what you're saying, but I just wanna be sure before I try taking the tank off again. I'm tired of undoing everything but that clip and holding the tank up in one hand while I fiddle with the fitting with the other!
that is how FI hoses generally detatch. they usually require a special "tool" on cars, but it looks like that ring may be the release. SOMETHING most likely has to move towards the tank, and since the manual doesn't call for a tool, thats most likely it on the hose already.
