My 2001 Ranger has 3 different quick connects going to the fuel filter.
I broke the GREEN plastic clip, following the vague instructions on YouTube.
1 white plastic clip on the engine side. This one pries out. Easy to find replacements.
Push these down. There is a special tool to remove them.
1 plastic connect with GREEN plastic locking clip on fuel tank side. Ford does not sell a replacement.
1 plastic connect with ORANGE plastic locking clip on fuel tank side. Ford does not sell a replacement.
I broke the green clip. The Ford dealer told me that I needed to buy a new fuel line for $130. A car mechanic friend on a motorcycle website posted a photo of the same connector and clip. He pulled out the green clip and mailed it to me. It fit right in and the fuel line clicked togehter. No problems.
I have ordered what I hope are spares.
S.U.R. & R. parts. KP030 should replace the green 3/8" connector. $9 to 11 for 2.
S.U.R. & R. parts. KP040 should replace the green 5/16" connector. $9 to 11 for 2.
Google KP040 and KP030.
If these connectors do not look correct, I will update this post.
This is the connector my friend salvaged the green clip from.
