Fuel Tank Solenoid Leak

Hello,

I created a fuel leak on the fuel tank switcher while I was putting in an electric fuel system. I pretty sure the leak is in the connectors on top that feed the fuel pump. It is so dirty up there I really can't tell. But it makes sense the oring in there is old and moving it around made a leak.

I have been trying to find how to take off the connectors and can't find any info. Here are a few questions.

Can I get new connectors or should I replace the o rings?

Will it work to just use a hose clamp to clamp on a new line?

How do I get the connectors off?

Thanks for your help,

Bill

Pull the plastic clips out, and the line will slide off.

I'm pretty sure they are made on the lines. I think you would have to replace the whole line.

Thanks for the help guys. I am glad to have a plan before I take the lines off. I see hose clamps in my future.
