I'm in the middle of changing the PCV system on my 1999 S70 and I can't seem to figure out how to remove the fuel line that threads through the intake manifold. I can see the connection on the back side of the intake manifold where the fuel injectors are but I can't see any way to disconnect the hose (unless I break the rubber hose off). I'm guessing the metal side of the fuel line snakes back to the fuel tank so that side is fixed. Is there some way to disconnect the silver metal connector that sticks out of the intake manifold or do I have to unbolt something from the fuel injector side? All of the posts I have read are for cars that are 1998 and older.

 

What instructions are you using? Have you disconnected the fuel line going to the rail?

 

I tried to disconnect the rubber hose that connects to the back of the rail but it was very difficult to remove. I'm wondering if after removing that hose at that point if it is possible to remove the intake manifold. I found one note on a forum that mentioned pulling the fuel injectors out of the rail but I was not able to figure out how they came apart.

 

Crazy thing. I have never heard of this till today but I did get my IPD spring catalogs in today and guess what they have for sale on the back page...??? A special tool to release the fuel line. Wow!!!
Fuel Line Release Tool

 

Yes that is exactly what I need. Looks like it's for the 1999-2000 which I have one of each. Thanks very much for the help.

 

Were you able to disconnect/reconnect the aluminum bell with this tool? I don't want to attempt changing the pcv system without knowing I will be able to do so. Thank you
