(7) Latch Clips: Depending on vehicle model and
engine, 2 different types of safety latch clips are used
(Fig. 46) or (Fig. 47). Type-1 is tethered to fuel line
and type-2 is not. A special tool will be necessary to
disconnect fuel line after latch clip is removed. The
latch clip may be used on certain fuel line/fuel rail
connection, or to join fuel lines together.
(a) Type 1: Pry up on latch clip with a screw-
driver (Fig. 46).
