Correct Method to Remove Fuel Line from Fuel Pump in 2004 Xj8
Hi guys,
I am working through what appears to be a fuel pump related issue on my 2004 XJ8 and I want to check with the community to be sure I know the correct way to remove the fuel line attached to the top of the pump assembly to facilitate removal, as seen below:
Fuel line in situ.
Please let me know how best to detach this connection, so I can (hopefully) get my car back on the road this weekend. Many thanks in advance.
You just need a screw driver to push in the tab and you pull it off.
Its as simple as that
I didn't need to use any special tool
Hello, I did what you said and my fuel line connector broke, next time it will be nice if you show a pic of how 2, so nobody go to the same trouble. Thanks
That particular fitting definitely looks like one you squeeze with your fingers to release but best to first remove fuel relay and run/crank engine till it dies to minimize fuel pressure on the joint before disassembly.
