Put a little oil on the o-rings or the mating hard line and they should snap back together a lot easier if the o-rings aren't damaged.

Thanks for that, however I don't think I have explianed myself very well. what I mean is pushing the black plastic fuel line over the barbed fitting just before the 90 degree bend that then goes to the quick release fitting before the regulator,

You might need to heat that fitting up and push it in there. Not sure if you need to heat the line a bit - I havent had to do in 9 years - I'm sure someone else will know - also there was a couple fuel line threads going on in the fuel forums.

If its loose, just get a new fuel line bundle. They are not very expensive. Hoping the plastic line will stay on the barbed fitting might risk an engine fire.
