I need to know what the plastic clip inside the fuel line where it connects to the fuel pressure regulator is called or where I can get one. I accidentally broke mine when I took it off.
Thank you

I did go to the dealer but they don't sell that clip individually. The only way to get it is to buy the whole fuel line which is $400. I'm going to try the auto wreckers. Hope there's one there.

I've broke these too. I've found that a zip tie will usually hold the fuel line in place:7

Look at the local auto parts store for those red carded 'HELP' items, usually near the screws, washers, plastic fastener area. They have 2 in a package for Ford. Called fuel line retainer clip.

The fuel line quick disconnect tools are less than $10.00 . Try shopping at industrial tool supply houses instead of the auto parts stores for tools. I think you would be surprised at their selection & prices.
