If you have disconnected the fuel line from the fuel rails on your truck you know how to take those fittings off.

They use a 5/8" fuel line disconnect tool, they are usually pretty stubborn, you just have to work the tool in all the way.

So far I've got three things at my disposal...
JBWeld
Loctight Plastic Epoxy (2-part)
Ultra Gray RTV

What's the best to use or should I use a combination of them?
I remember seeing a connector on racetronix ill see if i can find it.

You can see it in this picture. I remember seeing one with 4 wires coming out if you want to run duals.

Mmmm...can't say I've ever dealt with stock fuel lines and rails...that's sad isn't it? I take it it's not like the fuel line quick disconnects is it?

Those are the quick disconnects, I felt around behind it and didn't feel any of those plastic clips. I'll look again tomorrow morning.

Yea its just a quick disconnect. You can get the tool from pretty much anywhere.

You just shove it in the backside towards yourself and when you get the tabs that line will come right off.

Oh ok! Than yeah, I am familiar with those. Simple enough! Thanks, I'll head down and grab a 5/8" disconnect tool. Didn't even know they made those, that would certainly be easier then using screw-drivers like I usually do!!

Thanks
