You need to buy a special tool to release the fittings. Basically, its a small plastic ring that fits around the fuel line, you slide it into the fitting and it releases. It's kind of hard to describe, but easy to do. Any auto parts store should have the tool.

This is the one I have - http://www.otctools.com/frames-newcatalog.php3

Lol. My uncle fought with his for hours trying to figure it out. I think he eventually broke/cut the lines and did a "custom" one. Lol.
