Fuel Line re-connect issue
I used to tool to disconnec the feed/return from the intake, no problems there. Now when I try to reconnect them, the feed goes right in a made a click noise and is secured. The return line, I can keep pushing and pushing and it never clicks, if I pull back on the line it will give a little resistance then pop free.
Would bending the clips outward on the line help this? I dont understand how it happened....
BTW: none of the clips are borken I looked inside it and it looks perfectly fine...

We did hid the fuel lines in 69gto96z 's TA and we had little of trouble with that. The inner clips are very delicate. They have to be perfect to hold pressure and not leak. It took him a little tweaking to get it right. The disconnect tool bent them a little bit and we stretched them a little. It held and doesn't leak anymore.
I changed out my fuel rail in my Z28 and i bent the clips with the disconnect tool too. We did the same thing. Everything works perfect.
I think its the cheap disconnect tool that does it that.

Ya I played w/ the clips a little and now it seems to have locked itself in, but no click/pop when it did it. Now I think about it this one was a little wierd to take off in the first place the previous owner must have ****ed with it. It doesn't pull out now so I guess its good...we'll see if my car start on fire. It's just a return so I dont think there is too much pressure in that line.
