Fuel line fittings on 86 efi

Which tool would one need to remove the fuel line fittings from the sending unit, tank selector, pump, etc. on an 86 efi F150? They don't look like spring locks...

Just a small screwdriver.
Pry the clip up and then pull it out. It may brake so have some new ones on hand.
Then just pull the hose (line) off.

To put the fuel line back on just push the hose on and then push the new clip in.

Groovy, I ordered a six pack of fuel line release tools just in case.

There are no release tools needed for a 1986.

Yes you need a tool for the Fuel Rails.
They are the garter spring type line like the ones on the A/C system.

But he dose need the tools for the fuel rail.

What you are talking about not needing a tool for are the ones on the Tanks, Selector Valve, High Pressure Pump and the Fuel Filter if he has an Fuel Filter on the frame. Some 86 just had the Fuel Filter inside the Selector Valve.
