What to do when your fuel line breaks?
Spring locks and nylon safety clips have become commonplace. The spring lock type of connector comes in a variety of sizes and requires a tool that inserts into the connector and lifts the spring over the flare to release the fitting. Nylon lines tend to break near the fuel filter due to the twisting and force necessary to remove it.
