What is the trick to disconnect the fuel line from the line feeding the pressure regulator?

Thanks

Never mind, figured it out. Press the black plastic quick disconnect _INTO_ the fuel line (towards the passenger side of the car) and pull the line away from the regulator. Caught excess fuel with a shop rag as I removed it.

Thanks

If you cannot get it off in the future, they make a special tool to give oyu some leverage without crushing it, unlike pliers. They have been designed to be removed by hand but it does not always work that way.

Does this often pop off spontaneously? Mine did!
