Broken Fuel Line retainer clips
#1
![Exclamation](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/icons/icon4.gif)
I replaced the fuel pump and on a 2002 S-Type. Everything is back in but in the process of removing some of the fuel lines that go into the canister, some of them broke. I went to 3 auto parts stores. Nothing. Then I went to Jaguar repair shop and the man said he'd never seen those before. I looked online at dozens and dozens of fuel line connectors, retainer clip... whatever you want to call them and nothing. Any idea of where to find these little buggers? Thanks in advance

Sorry, out of stock but this is what your after.
or, Try FORDS parts suppliers, sound about the right build year, just.
Did the same myself.

I broke one of them (the white one) if I recall. They are harder to release the fuel line for some reason than the red one.
Luckily my replacement pump (used) had them intact.
I then started using WD 40 to soak them before depressing both ends (they're spring loaded too) and the trick is to push in the fuel line then pull it straight up to release.

Amazzon carries them as well.

UPDATE: Okay, I went to a wrecking yard and had to pay $40 just for those little clips but I guess I saved money by not buy a whole new sending unit. Yes, I know I could have put those little clips in my pocket and walked out but I don't want the bad wrecking car karma to follow me. Anyway, those damn little clips are a huge pain in the *** to remove. I had this whole sending unit in a vice trying get them out and they simply were NOT going to come. I ended up taking a a hack saw and destroying the damn thing to get them off.
So.... the wrecking yard is the answer but DO NOT LOOK AT A 2003. They are totally different. I got mine out of a 2001 and my car is a 2002.

A breaker's yard is your best bet, but even on a vehicle with the connectors intact, they may also break when being removed.
