Replaced my fuel sender today (third one) with a properley modified new unit (thanks to the TDR). Have a question about the "not so quick connects" used on the fuel feed and return lines.
Guess I should add that I dropped the fuel tank to do this. Don't have the capability (available hoist) to lift the bed.
Although the "quick connects" came apart ok by depressing the two little tabs, I had a hell of a time to get them back together.
Supposed to hear a click when they are back in place when pushing them back home. Didn't hear anything. The feed line seems to be locked, but cannot for anything get the return line connect to lock. I'm pushing on that thing as hard as I dare. Don't want to break the metal line entering the tank.
For the moment I placed a worm screw clamp around the plastic connector which seems to be holding. There is no leak on either of the connectors however won't know until the truck sits overnight, if the return line is losing prime (because the connector refuses to lock) indicated by the truck being hard to start.
Why simple SS worm screw clamps couldn't have been used in this instance instead of the POS plastic connectors, I have no idea.
Anyway would appreciate any and all suggestions.
