Gas delivery quick release fitting

That's why I settled for the Italian slut (2V) instead of supermodel (4V).  Still as fun to ride without all the bull$hit pampering.

Haha so true

My 748 started leaking a bit from the Q-D fitting too. It was the o-ring on the male end. Surprising how just the tiniest knick can cause a bunch of gas to come out.

Yes. I always coat them with grease before re-fitting.

Here's a pic of the o-rings:

Whats the hose you have stuffed into the disconnected fuel fitting on the flange?

It's actually a vacuum cap stuff in there backwards to keep the tank from leaking fuel. I'm kinda over wearing gasoline. I'm pretty sure I've worn more gas than 99.85% of the folks on this board.

Good day all. Firstly, sorry for bringing this up again, but still at a loss as what to do. I ordered replacement o-rings for the fitting. The others were split. However, they were different from the replacements. The distal o-ring was blue and the proximal was black. The replacements are brown and thicker. Just like the one in the picture posted by chris. Once replaced, it leaked worse. I thought of removing the fitting and taking it to the dealership to see if I replaced them correctly or needed different o-rings.  I coated them with grease before replacing them. They appear in correct position, but can be turned rather easily. Maybe too big? Anyhow, is there anything special to remove it from the line, after loosening the clamp? I don't want to make the situation worse by breaking the fitting while removing it. Oh, and rule62 did send me some, but I think they were thrown away with a collection of Christmas card, as they were in a card.(Thanks rule62, by the way and much appreciated.)

The steps I normally take to remove old hoses from connectors is to completely remove the hose clamp, then gently work a dental pick at the end of the hose where it meets the part it is slipped over. Then as the hose starts to loosen, I graduate to a screwdriver to continue convincing the hose to separate from the tube. Then I add in pliers to attempt to twist the hose around the tube.
