Airjer really broke down that dreaded black collar type fuel filter quick disconnect for you. I'll admit to breaking one in my time before learning to stick a pair of pliers between the back of the collar and the fuel filter for leverage and pressing the collar in towards the quick connecter 90 elbow. That works like a charm every time without breaking it. Also like airjer mentioned all that gunk coming out from the fuel pump sure sounds like a pump that's gone bad.

Anyway, did you get the filter back on and did that get your fuel pressure up to about 41 psi by chance?
