Price range on the tool is very wide. You can get a cheap plastic one for less than a dollar or pay $30 for a pro multi tool. I got a cheap one from NAPA.
I don't remember the right size. It is the same as the ATF cooler lines, IIRC.

Got it... Thanks
I wrapped a piece of heavy plastic around the line.. A plastic band. Then zip tied the band, then using a crescent wrench I leveraged into the 4 tabs while pulling up on the line.. Off it came.

I actually wrapped a piece of heavy plastic around the fuel line and cinched it up to release. IMHO, the tool I fabricated WORKS 100 TIMES better than the store bought tool. I hope you understand.
Thanks, you're an awesome dood!

I agree home made is good. The store bought one I got is basically a piece of plastic wrapped around the pipe. The one I go lasted exactly 2 disconnects.
Oldblues work great, but cost a $20-$30. Handy to have in a shop.
