On my 98' TransAm things are quite rusty and dirty and having only quick look I wasn't sure what do I need to disconnect 4 lines. Any special tools needed? Or just plyers? Are all 4 lines disconnected in the same way?

I was thinking of starting a thread like this, but I was more/less wondering about other things to watch out for that might break or get in the way. But I thought I'd just drop the tank and figure it out. Can't break anything back there THAT expensive anyway..

But OP, the lines should be easy to disconnect.

There is a fuel line disconnect tool. It is a small round tool that clamps around the fuel line and slides into the fitting opening up a spring clamp allowing you to pull the line apart. Do not just pull on it you will break it. The tool is cheap at autozone or oriley's. I think you will need two different sizes a 5/16 and a 3/8 one for the supply and one for the return. I think the 5 piece kit is only 5 dollars or so.

Squeeze the two tabs on the lock together and pull the fitting off.
The locking tab will stay on the fuel line

so, I would need just some pliers?
Are all 4 connectors the same?

DavidQ, from what I read, it's easier to take them apart by NOT using that disconnect tool

Ollie8974

don't need pliers. pinch the ears together with thumb and finger.

I've tried to separate them yesterday ad it was suspiciously easy. There is white plastic thing that goes inside black plastic connector, I just squeezed together 2 tabs of white plastic and started pulling it apart. Is that it?? That easy??

Ollie8974

YES it is that easy
The white plastic thing is the lock.

Good, thanks!

Also, does it matter (I mean for low-fuel condition) where do I put second pump in the tank? What's the best - in front of the stock, in the back, on the right/left side?
Tank is 98'

Did you read the stickys at the top of the forum.
The vendors who support these forums offer two and three pump set ups.
