Special Tool for Fuel Lines at Petrol Tank - ALL SOLD

Postby Brit-Car-Nut » Thu 13.06.2013, 16:31

I have a few extra Special Tools for removing the fuel lines at the Petrol Tank.

"Special push-on fittings are used on both pipes at the connections to the fuel pump assembly,
and require a special tool - T000T0898 - to release the connectors."


Priced at $15.00 each including first class shipping to the US;

$19.00 each including first class shipping to the UK.

I prefer PayPal, Personal Payment Option.

You can send PayPal (Personal Payment) to my LEC eMail address - it is john ((at)) callahancom ((dott)) com.

Would I need this to replace the fuel pump? Pretty much put me down for one anyway, but I'd like to know the answer!

Jamie: A lot of people use two small screwdrivers or ice picks to release the friction locks but after slipping a screwdriver and tearing up my finger, I decided to find a couple for myself. It is awkward enough working around the top and the other interior bits that it is easy to slip off the fitting and get frustrated. The tool applies pressure to both sides of the friction lock at the same time so you only need one hand for the tool and you can use the other to slip the hose off the tank unit. It fits the notches in the fitting exactly.

It looks like it will only cost around $2.50 more to send it by First Class Mail to the UK, so it would be $15.00 including postage.

I will have the additional pieces here in a few days. You can send PayPal (Personal Payment) to my LEC eMail address - it is john ((at)) callahancom ((dott)) com.

Cool, let me try to get an answer about the dew strip tool, maybe I could send that to you and you could post both to me? I bought it from Rodney Dickman about 10 days ago and haven't heard much, so I doubt its despatched.

I'll send the PP money shortly to confirm the order and then any excess once I get an answer from them.

Not a problem to add your Rodney tool too. I wish I had an extra one I could just throw in for you. I gutted my doors a few years ago and once the glass was out, I just used a really long phillips driver. If you need my address, let me know.

call me a cheapskate, but i made up a tool for a few pence (well, less than that, 'cos i already had what i needed!)....

....a piece of steel sheet with 2 x 4mm holes the right distance apart - insert 2 pop rivets and do them up enough to hold but not snap off the pin - job done!

Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it


...oh, and a 2006 Freelander destined for the jungles of The Gambia - 4500 miles across roads, desert and tracks - what could possibly go wrong?

I replaced my fuel pump a few years ago and remember having a bitch of a time removing the fuel lines. I think I finally managed it with some needle nose pliers... I think I can still see the scars where I skewered my hand.... :shock:

John sent me one of the tools a few weeks ago and can confirm that they work great :clap: :bowdown:

I tried it out on my spare fuel tank. When I stripped the donor car I never managed to get 1 of the lines off and as it was damaged anyway I just cut it. It still took a bit of pulling and twisting but it popped off quite easily with no blood shed :lol: Best $12.50 I've ever spent :cheers:

Please, no lists required.

Anyone that wants one just needs to send a payment via PayPal, Personal Payment (so I don't get hit with fees) $15.00 for US buyers and $19.00 for non-US buyers - the shipping is higher for out of country.

john ((AT)) callahancom ((DOT)) com

You will need to send me your complete address and phone number (I will keep it private) since PayPal doesn't provide that info with a Personal Payment. Out of country shipments require going to the Post Office, so I will do that every few days - it isn't very close.

My email link is the same address and works fine. I try to respond to PMs and email several times a day.

Tools will be dispatched on a first pay, first ship basis via USPS First Class Mail.

So, I gather that nobody is interested in the tool to safely remove the fuel lines at the tank?

I'm kind of shocked, but if anyone wants one, I have a bunch.

I still have some of these. The price is fair and you will end up needing the tool at some point, so get one while they still exist.

Shipping rates have gone up so it is $12.00 for US buyers with shipping via first class mail and $18.00 for UK/European buyers with shipping via first class mail.
