Product Description

By entering your model number, you can make sure that this fits.

The OTC fuel line disconnect tool is a scissors-style tool that makes quick work of difficult-to-release fuel line connectors.

To release fittings on fuel rails, fuel filters, sending units, and more, this super compact, low-profile 3-1/2-inch long tool fits in the tightest spaces.

On one end, the tool accommodates 5/16 inch fuel lines, while on the other, it accommodates 3/8 inch lines.

From the late 1980s to today, this kit is designed to fit a wide range of GM, Ford, Chrysler, and Jeep vehicles.

Rugged, all-metal construction allows it to work in places where other tools can't.

Questions & Answers

Is it compatible with a 1996 Impala LT1?

It should fit a Chevy if you buy one for one.

My 1997 Ford F250 is a gas vehicle with a 5. 4L V- Is this something I could use to replace a fuel filter in my truck? Thanks?

If you have a Ford, you can usually just remove the plastic clips from the plastic connectors without any special tools, but if yours is all metal, you'll need it.

Selected User Reviews For OTC 6509 Fuel Line Disconnect Tool

Despite the low price, this is a very poor quality tool that bends and distorts, and does not release the fuel line on Ford

3/5

It's made of a low-cost metal that looks like pot metal. It lacks steel's heft, appearance, and feel. The first and only use of this tool caused it to bend and distort, and it failed to remove the fuel line connector. The tool is so badly made that *both* ends have distorted and become misaligned. Even though I only used one end, it was perfectly aligned. When I tried to remove the connector with this tool, I never heard a "click. " I eventually went to an auto parts store and purchased a set of Performance Tool W83149 small round plastic disconnect pieces. Where the OTC tool failed, that worked perfectly. I do not recommend purchasing this tool, and I plan on returning it to Amazon. Junk. Purchase is not recommended.

This is a must-have Ford tool that also works on GM, Chrysler, and other makes

5/5

The best fuel line disconnect tool I've ever owned, and I've bought a lot of them off tool trucks. The only difference I can see between this one and the one I bought 25 years ago is that the old one had an OTC Ford Special Tool number and was made in the United States. Taiwanese craftsmanship is evident here. My old one, which had disconnected thousands of fuel lines, was unfortunately lost to me. I worked for Ford dealers for ten years, until 1995. If you didn't know, the plastic U-shaped retainer will also disconnect the older fuel lines, allowing you to reuse the retainer because it won't break when you remove it.

I was able to get it to work

5/5

I struggled for over an hour with the plastic type disconnect tool and was unable to remove the fuel line. So I gave up and conceded defeat for the first round, returning to Amazon to purchase a metal sissor-like tool. I got the tool, went back under my truck, and literally took 2 minutes to remove the fuel line. WOW, what a transformation! I'm going to keep this tool in my toolbox for the rest of my life!.

It's a perfect match

5/5

For removing the fuel line on my 1999 Chevy 3500 two-wheel drive, this is the best tool I've found. Others I tried were incredibly difficult, if not impossible, to use. br>Excellent fitting tool that is well worth the money.

Fuel Rails from General Motors are too big

3/5

This is what I needed to disconnect the fuel lines on a 95 chevy fuel rail. The lines take up a lot of space. br>Getting the tool into and around the lines was extremely difficult (due to its length). It's also difficult to keep it closed around the line. br>So I went to an auto parts store and bought a smaller one with a spring to keep it closed. That way, once it's on the line, it'll stay put. I suppose you could add some tension to it with a rubber band to keep it from opening as you wrap it around the line.

You'll be glad you took the time to do so

5/5

The tool does exactly what it should. It took a little practice to figure out how to do a push/pull at the same time, but if you've used one of these before, you know what I'm talking about. br>br>I've tried the plastic disconnect tools, and they aren't worth the hassle. br>br>Invest a few extra dollars in this higher-quality disconnect tool, and you'll be glad you did. br>br>I'm sure this will be remembered for a long time.

This is an excellent tool

5/5

This tool is made of heavy-duty metal and should last for a long time. It worked perfectly to remove the fuel lines from my old Ford pickup's fuel tank.
