Fuel Lines

Suzuki sell the "proper" tool to use which is a flimsy shaped bit of plastic. The problem is that you fit it and it unlocks the connector but, and this is the important bit, instead of pulling it to disconnect it as instinct tells you, you have to push it to remove it!!

I managed to release the fuel connectors using a small terminal screwdriver and a bit of 'jiggery pokery' (not suzuki approved). They weren't that bad once I figured out which way to work them. Couldn't possibly describe it to you though, sorry.

Thanks guys, will give it a try tomorrow hopefully. Jiggery Pokey route first!

The special tool slips over the pipe and pushes into the coupler and releases the inner clip outwards.

I have parted that type by carefully levering the inner piece out of the joint, there are two holes that ears on the inner piece expand out into. Then it if actually parts you can reassemble the joint and it just pushes back on.

Could it be mines be replaced? I just pinched and pulled and it came off!

You can see how it works now, There is a ridge on the tank tube that the two tabs of the inner piece went over (expanding into the cut-outs in the outer) and locked.
The tool slips up between the pipe and the inner, and lifts the tabs over the ridge, then you push the inner off to release.

There should be an O ring inside the black part that is the fuel seal. As long as the o-ring doesn't fall out, you don't really need to get the inner white piece off, just push the black part back on.

If you do get the white (and orange) inner off, it just pushes into the black part, and keeps the o-ring in place.

The joint is the o-ring, the end just mechanically locks the hose on.
