Thumbs up what tool is needed to disconnect fuel line

Have a 94 LT1 Formula need to disconnect fuel line from the fuel rail and I have forgotten what the name and size color whatever the tool is that slips in and disconnects it. I haven't had to work on my car in ages gave it to my stepson to use and he has blown the head gaskets. Its been a long time also since I have been on these boards but I knew that this is the Best Board when help is needed!!!! This will be the first time to open up this engine. I'll probably be asking more questions real soon!

Get the metal one... it's a little more expensive (6-8$) but you will need them in the future and the plastic ones suck.

The plastic Lisle brand ones work fine for me.

Ditto. Lisle plastic is adequate.

Lisle work fine...but they break easy if you try to force it

I bought a set of plastic. The connections were stubborn but with some squeezing and pulling I finally managed to get the fuel lines off. If i was a mechanic and needed these frequently metal would be a better choice I do believe!!
