Go to Napa or other local parts store, ask for fuel and A/C disconnect set. Bunch of little plastic circles that slide on and release the tabs. Costs about $10 for a 7 piece set.

If your really really patient and careful it can be done with a couple small regular screwdrivers, but it is a lot faster, easier, and safer to buy the tool.
In a pinch you can make a tool by cutting open longways a piece of copper tubing and then closing it around the fuel line and using it to depress the tangs.
I think autozone might have the disconnect tools as free loaners.

The set will work for many connections on many modern cars. I fail to see how such an inexpensive set of tools is undesirable. You may be able to buy just the one you ned now for less, but the set covers a lot of different disconnects on a lot of different vehicles. Maybe someone in your area will loan you one? Hate to see you mess up a perfectly good connector.

Those connector tools also work on the Corvette Fuel Regulator Filter. I would not count on using it just 1 time, on a coversion project things tend to be put together and taken apart then put back together several times. I have the plastic set, then ended up springing for the anodized aluminum tool when I found it on sale. It works much better, but the plastic ones will do.
Here is a set for less than $6.

You will also need one for the Hyd Clutch connection, so you many as well skip lunch or a beer or two for one day and just buy a set for $10 or so.
a few item that will need to tool for yours and other cars:
Fuel Rail
Vette Filter/Regulator
Clutch connector
Fuel Tank and return line.

Well, if you should damage the fuel line at the rail, I have the hose from a 2002 WS6 that I will be happy to sell you. Should run a bit more than $10 at the dealer...

dunnoe y i would need tool for clutch connector since i eliminated the quick disconnect...keke...alos the fuel tank and return line ish just a tube...no tools necessary other then a screwdriver....
maybe i will use the tool more then just once...like 2 time initially and once a year after that...if that...damn...still would rather find a cheaper alternative...guess i'll dish out the 6 bux...
