| How do you remove the clamps with a blue colored plastic ring off of the fuel lines on an in-line/rail mounted fuel filter on an '05 Ford F250 ? The lines will swivel on either end of the filter, but I can't figure out how to release the "clamp" . Whatever happened to the old style SS clamps that required a flat blade screwdriver;5/16 nut driver?? If I cut the "clamps off, the lines will be too short BTW :-( Thanks |

| Thanks for the video, but those aren't the style of clamp that I'm up against, no metal banding involved. |

GM uses then as does Dodge - there is a small plastic u shaped clip you push the one part forward and it releases the inner clamp - there are 2 O rings inside of the inner part I got mine lose with a screwdriver pushing the inner part and when I bought some new fillings it had the little tool included . I had to replace 2 lines from fuel pump . Check some filters might include the tool https://youtu.be/66bm_J0McM4" rel="nofollow - https://youtu.be/66bm_J0McM4

There is a special tool that you can get but they can be pried up with a flat screwdriver on the side with the big tab. Positive locking tab doesn't come apart to cause a fuel leak, band clamps can loosen/rust/slip off especially if rubber lines rot also. ------------- 1951 WD #78283, 1918 Case 28x50 Thresher #76738, Case Centennial B 2x16 Plow |

I started chasing rusty lines on my 2000 GMC - ended all the way back at the lines coming off the fuel pump - I bought 1 line that had a 90 deg bend from NAPA - cost $17 , next line i needed when another leak developed I bought from Oriley Auto - $6 for a 12" line with the swedge on each end , then a package of the plastic clips for $4 which had a small plastic tool included to remove the lines . Many of the replacement, GM / Chrysler Corp, filters now on cars are also using the push in clips to hold them . I fought with the dang thing and said quite a few words before son showed me how to release the clip without the tool. Dang modern inventions - but as new fuel pumps put out over 60 PSI guess our old ways of doing things needed a update That 12" line I cut a piece off as it was used on return side , now I have the extra 6" in the cabinet if needed in the future - that along with 3 extra clips ------------- Faith isn't a jump in the dark.

| glad you mentioned the higher preasures because 60psi and any kind of leak = fire the right hoses and fittings required |

Two seapareate types of hose so if you replace any of the metal lines with hose be sure to use the right hose type - high pressure hose is marked as such and is a lot more in cost than just fuel resistant hose we use to use or that is used on return side fuel line ------------- Faith isn't a jump in the dark.

Now that you brought up the PSI issue, I run air hoses off of a compressor that is putting out 100-110 PSI with the old school hose clamps on repair sections and don't have any issues with leaking ?? |

Rather than using hose clamps, use PEX rings. Neighbor did this for some water hoses and air hoses. Works great and no cutting hands on the clamp. |
