Hi all,
I'm a new member and am in the process of trying to remove my fuel tank to replace the fuel pump. I don't understand how to disconnect the hose connectors. The three plastic hoses don't appear to be fuel lines and i've never seen this type of connector before. Do I need some sort of special tool to disconnect these? Any and all help would definitely be appreciated.

Looked at my manuals and it'* hard to tell, but looks like it'* a remove the plastic clip, then pull the fuel lines apart at the fitting. No tool is mentioned in the manual. However, if you do need a tool, this write up should tell you what you need. https://www.gmforum.com/mechanical-134/disconnect-fuel-line-283854/

Hi,Dan,
Thanks for the reply, but that write up tells how to remove fuel lines.The lines I am trying to disconnect are a formed hard looking plastic.I've never encountered this type of connector before.I guess I will take some pictures of them to take to the local parts store for suggestions.

I'm pretty sure all you'll need are some quick-disconnects.

If you post up the pictures here we will know what your dealing with. I have a good idea but want to make sure.

Quick disconnects?

Does this help?

using your fingers, pinch the two ends of the locking clip together.

Then gently pull the plastic fuel line from the filter. You may have to twist and squeeze to seperate them.

O.K.,
I will take pictures and post them so everyone can see what I'm trying to do more clearly.

Thanks for everyone'* input on my problem. I had a friend that had been through a fuel tank/fuel pump removal and had all the tools from that project. He came over and helped me pull and re-install the tank.Wow, what a friend!

How did he finally undo the clips? Was it by hand like the above pictures, or was it a different type of clip. I've seen several different kind like pulling a plastic clip out, to squeezing a clip, to needed special tools.
