(6) Plastic Retainer Ring Type Fitting: This
type of fitting can be identified by the use of a full-
round plastic retainer ring (Fig. 17) usually black in
color.
(a) To release fuel system component from quick-
connect fitting, firmly push fitting towards compo-
nent being serviced while firmly pushing plastic
retainer ring into fitting (Fig. 17). With plastic ring
depressed, pull fitting from component. The plas-
tic retainer ring must be pressed squarely
into fitting body. If this retainer is cocked
during removal, it may be difficult to discon-
nect fitting. Use an open-end wrench on
shoulder of plastic retainer ring to aid in dis-
connection.
