Not-so quick release fuel line

Anyone know a trick in disconnecting the "quick-release" fuel line from the tank? I didn't want to force it for fear of breaking something so tried twisting, pinching and other forms of coaxing until it accidentally released.
Thanks
 
You push the hose towards the tank fitting and at the same time pull the collar back towards the hose. Then you pull the hose off the right angled barb fitting on the tank while keeping the collar pulled back.

Me and Pete could not get mine off the griso, maybe the suggestion of releasing pressure will help, but we spent half an hour trying to disconnect the sucker, I was pissed, also, it came off easy on the side of the road when Todd E helped me fix it the first time, todd must have gooned it.....:)
 
i find putting a spanner in front of the hose collar helps, makes it a lot easier to push the collar back while your pushing on the hose to release it.
12mm is a good size to use.
 
-or using 2 flat nose pliers. One for support and one for pushing. I usually give the connector a spray of ptfe-oil before attempting.

The quick-release acts like a standard Cejn-compressor connector.
 
One thing I found was that even with the collar pushed towards the pipe to release it, the fitting can still be tight on the tube due to the friction of the O ring seal. Gentle pressure worked in my case.

Yep, that was my solution after I'd fiddled with no success for 20 mins. Came off no probs.

Holt, this forum acts like a standard English-language board. No Klingon, please :silly:
 
Wiggling the spawn of the devil thing helped me......after 1/2 an hour giving it a good talking to and spraying some WD40 while working it back and forth....it practically fell off while I paused for breath.....grrrrr
