Technical Fuel filter fuel line clips

[busdennis]

First time changing the fuel filter and run into a small problem removing one of the fuel lines.the sensor is removed and the fuel line with the yellow retaining clip is easy to remove but I can’t shift the fuel line with the blue retaining clip. Is just a matter of technique? Is there a specific tool for the job?
Is this line under pressure making it a little more tricky?

Thanks in advance

There are so many different versions of these fuel line clips, but I think you will find pushing the white squares in from both sides with your fingers will release the clip, not sure why the blue outer is there.
Try not to resort to violence/tools pliers etc. as if the clip breaks it can mean a new expensive fuel line.
I often spray a little WD40 around them to ease removal.

On my fuel sender unit, one line pops out as soon as you push the two sides in, while the other requires a fair bit of pulling upwards at the same time.

These are the plier I use on quick connect fittings. They work better that old & fat fingers with arthritis.

I am in Australia and have 5 different sizes as I work on various vehicles.
I am sure in GB you should be able to pick them up from any Auto parts store. The one in the photo, if you look at the size on the end that is what I use on the Fiats.

I adapted a pair of ordinary fine nose pliers to squeeze the buttons on the sides of fuel line clips to remove them. Just by heating the tips of the fine nose pliers on my gas ring and bending them in with a pair of ordinary pliers. I will try to attach a photo of the pliers, (and the tool I made to unscrew the big plastic ring on the top of the diesel tank)
