They are there as a safety measure. In case the clips in the connection
fail. They DO NOT hold the connection together.
draw your own conclusions....

Yea, I don't see how they hold the connection together. The
connection seems pretty good without them. I had a heck of a time
separating the connection until I got the proper tool. So what do
they do ?

I thought Steve was pretty clear, but they are a secondary connection in
case the spring locks fail.

how a sack of shit like Kerry was almost elected...... by saying what people
want to hear.

Also, when running on the rear tank, the fuel leaches into the front tank. I can run the front tank dry, flip the switch, and after..
Fuel Filter - I want to change out the fuel filter in my 1995 F-150 4x4. I noticed that the filter has a clip on each end. Do you remove the filter by removing the clips and pulling the gas line off of each end. I would appreciate any help or advice.
