The '92 manual says regular screw on clamps, like a small radiator hose clamp.
The '97 has the push/pull connectors.
We dropped the fuel tank about a foot then disconnected the lines at the tank module on the '97 last summer....the lines ran to the frame rail mounts.

Looks like a trip to the auto parts store for the push-pull connector tool.
The correct size collar slides into the push-pull connector end that the collar will fit. Sometimes there are 2 "ears" in the connector that you can press with a small screw driver to unlock the connector too.

Now this is sad, I can't find a picture of how this fuel connector tool actually works, here or on Google either. Best I can offer is maybe the tool package has an illustration on the back.
Sorry

Re: Help 93 Bravada Fuel lines

You've got it, the one I used had a little handle and after you insert it, wiggle it around while trying to wiggle the connector apart.
One will fly apart easily and the other will be difficult if your luck is like mine.

VMag Bravada's Jim in Phoenix said bungie cords under the fuel tank will let you manuver a little without having to hold up one end while working...worked for me.

Smile Re: Help 93 Bravada Fuel lines

Thanks Chris. I am going to work on it this weekend as long as there is no rain. Picked up a tool at Advance auto. Looks like an x one end for 5/16" other for 3/8th. Love the idea about bungee cords too. I'll stop pick up some!

YOU are what makes this forum great!

I'll post a message let you know how it goes.
