A design change to the fuel line quick-connect fittings at the fuel sender feed line to the fuel filter connection, and at the fuel sender return line to the chassis fuel return pipe, was initiated as an interim production change. Fuel sender assemblies with either the new or old style quick-connect fittings are interchangeable in service, and the fuel sender assemblies with the new quick-connect fittings will be serviced under the existing part number at GMSPO.

The new design quick-connect fitting has a primary and a secondary latching feature that provides the technician with a more positive indication that the connection has been properly made. The figure shows the quick-disconnect fitting in an unlocked position (1), with the primary locking feature engaged by pushing on the latching feature of the fitting in the direction of the arrow (2), and with the secondary locking feature engaged by rotating the tab of the latching feature (3).
