Source for plastic fuel line to fuel filter clips
Anyone have a source for the blue and green plastic clips that secure the rear fuel lines to the filter, my wix filter did not come with them.
Thanks

The only one you need the little removal tool for is the "front" one that goes to the engine. If you damage/lose retainer clips, check your local AP store. Dorman (HELP) sells a lot of the different clips, etc. Don't think I've seen any pretty green/blue OEM replacement types though. Those color codes are mainly for the assembly-line guys.

Why can't you re-use the ones on the car? I did. They just manually (finger squeeze) release anyway. Leave the filter bolted down (so it doesn't try to move around), apply light pressure as if trying to attach the line, then squeeze the two release tabs, then pull the line off. I put a drop or two of clean motor oil on the metal tube prior to re-connecting in order to lubricate the o-rings.

NAPA has been a good reliable source for auto parts over the years. Don't know what the "Balkamp" part number is (NAPA's own in-house brand) but the Dorman part number is 800-006 for the 3/8" sized line and 800-005 for the 5/16" line. O'Reilly's, Pep Boys, Advance, and Vato Zone should carry them.
