REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

Spring Lock Connectors

Fuel tubes which connect to MFI engines utilize spring lock push connect fittings in the engine compartment

instead of the plastic or stainless steel push connect fittings. The spring lock push connect fittings work by

insertion of the fitting's male end, which is surrounded by two O-rings, into a female flared end engine fitting.

The coupling engagement is secured by a garter spring which prevents the female flared end from becoming

disengaged from the male end.

Spring Lock Coupling Disconnect Tool D87L-9280-B or equivalent is used to disconnect the 12.7mm (1/2-

inch) spring lock coupling supply fitting. Tool D87L-9280-A or equivalent is used to disconnect the 9.52mm

(3/8-inch) spring lock coupling return fitting.
