    fuel rail quick connect tool thingy?

    I have asked around locally and no one seems to know anything about this tool they all tell me to take it to my dealer. Has anyone improvised and gotten these things off some other way? Or is there somewhere online that sells them?

    I thought he meant to disconnect the fuel line from the rail.

    My cheapo has a 5/16" side and a 3/8" side. One side for supply, the other for return (although the tubing is actually metric...prolly 8mm and 10mm???).

    Like said above, there everywhere...meaning, all the auto parts stores have them. They make them in both plastic or metal. Simple little tools that just slide behind the fuel fitting & separates the lock flanges from the bump in the fuel line, that allows you to slide the fitting off. Theres noth'n to them. They are very inexpensive.
