I installed a FASS system on my '99 this past weekend and had trouble removing the supply line from the fuel tank. I tried my fingers, but I couldn't get the lower tang with my big fingers. Then I tried needle nose pliers, both straight and 90 degree to no avail.

So I got in to my electrical stuff bag and pulled out a small plastic wire tie strap measuring 4" long x 1/8" wide. After tightening it, it squeezed both tabs great and the line came right off.

This after about two hours trying to get it disconnected with my fingers and assorted tools.
