I Guarantee you that David M. is correct on at least the '99 F-150...I
changed mine a month ago and it was the "NASA" designed "in-line" connectors
(or garder/garter) ;) couldn't figure out why they had to make things so
complicated and reinvent the wheel. The only thing I came up with was that
since it was underneath on the rail, maybe they had complaints in the past
about brush/debris snagging the fuel line while off-roading and pulling the
line off...Seems remote, but it was a thought.
