forum, i seem to need another assist,am taking the ip off a 1997 e300diesel,the newer type of fuel line connector has me stumped,i slid the little white clip in as far as i could get it to slide with my fingers and the connector does not want to separate. is there a trick(twist,lift,press in ,etc ) to getting a disconnect? the little white clip will push in and leave about a 1/16 inch gap for furthur travel inward,was tempted to try some more force but decided to ask a dumb question first.(seems like i break less by having no pride,lol and ask for an assist)
has anyone replace fuel lines on a 606 or simular type fuel line who could offer a suggestion?
thanks,larry perkins

Larry, the fuel lines can just be a pain sometimes when they have been in place for a long time. Just push the clip in as you have done and the pull and pry to get it out. I have found that it is best to just replace the fuel lines if they are old. When old, they are discolored and difficult to see through - makes it difficult to see any little bubbles if you checking for air leaks.

And replace the O-rings with viton.

Yes, PITA and replace lines. Enjoy the massive savings, the pain and cursing are just part of the experience.
