NEW PROBLEM PLEASE HELP, i installed the new sending unit,i then started it up but i cut it off to check under the car for fuel leaks and i found 1,its comming from the fuel line where it connects to the sending unit tube, i noticed when i was taking off the fuel lines when i was using the fuel line tool the little clip thats sits in the tube popped out and got bent,i had put it back in the line but didnt look like it was sitting in there tight like the other clip that was in the other line, do they sell those metal clips???? they was some plastic ones on the sending unit when i bought it but dont know if they work??? any help please

my bad am pretty sure these are the ones you need to fix the o ring http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/d...om/site/c/detail/DOR6/800013/N1650.oap?ck=Search_N1650_-1_-1&pt=N1650&ppt=C0290

So those are for both lines? 2 goes in 1 or just a spares
I got mine at Advance for $159 a couple of years back. Honestly the only part of the kit that makes it worthwhile is the installation tool. It seems to me that you could probably make a tool similar using a $15 quick clamp and some ingenuity. The rest of the kit is just spare plastic connectors and nylon fuel line.

800-013 is a Dorman PN, many stores will use the manufacturer PN so it is possible you will find the same number at various stores.
Did you check Oreilly? They are more expensive but I would not be surprised if they are in stock there. That would explain your price difference (more expensive because they keep on the shelf, less expensive because they order as-needed). I've paid more money for a lot of things at O'Reilly only because they were in stock there and I could pick it up same-day when I needed it.DANG HATE ORDERING SMALL PARTS AND IT HAS TO BE ORDERED,PROBLE BE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK BEFORE I CAN WORK ON IT
FWIW my local O'Reilly lists that PN as in stock in store.
Makes parts shopping a little time consuming but I always call all of my stores to verify who has it in stock. If something has to be ordered in then I'll compare it with Amazon which can be pretty competitive when shipping in parts is required.

from looking at my retainer if you can bend the tabs inwords it will come out easierok, looks like i got to get some o rings and maybe an install tool? Was the tool necessary nadacop? How does the metal retainer come out to get to the o rings? Anyone know what part numbers i need? Thanks for any and all help!![Image]()
I used the o-rings out of a replacement plastic end. The four prong retainer comes out by prying each prong gently toward the center of the connector until it is just inside the rim of the connector. I used a 90deg hooked pick. Once all four are inside the rim you can pull it up and out and the rest can be pulled out one part at a time and layed out for re-assembly. The installation tool makes life a whole lot simpler but it seems to me that someone on the Forum made their own and it worked out pretty well.

Think I got mine fixed by replacing just the orings with the dorman parts listed in this thread. $10 at my local Advance Auto Parts but they were in stock and hopefully I am done messing with it. I was unable to get it to push on when the parts back in the line. I ended up putting all the pieces onto the line off the fuel rail in the order pictured in this thread, and then just pushed the empty line back on over it all. Snapped right in place. Turning the key forward and priming the pump showed no more drips or fuel smell. Will pay close attention to it next week when I get exhaust on and fire it back up. I was able to find a you tube on the fuel line repair kit mentioned here. Looks like it could actually be kind of handy.
