I just went to NAPA and they had GM quick disconnects in 3/8 and 5/16.
The feed for our cars i think is a 3/8. These do have the plastic oring inside of them. I will see if I can snap a few pics tonight.

Here is a pic of mine. Notice inside that behind the orange thing its just metal, an empty place.
Here is what came out of mine.
Notice the new one has a yellow/clear plastic oring inside.
The old one next to the one i found at NAPA
What do you guys recommend I do? Cut off the old end and put it on that hose, or replace the entire hose, with new ends on both side. What type of hose do I buy?

So the stock quick disconnect actually comes out if you pull hard enough!
The replacement I bought is identical, except that it doesnt have the curve in it.
Here is the new one next to the stock one before I installed it.

I HAVE NEVER SEEN SUCH A PIECE....HAVEN'T TRIED TO INTENTIONALLY PULL THE END OFF OF MINE EITHER THOUGH...SO HOW DID IT GO GET DROWNED WITH HIGH PRESSURE GASOLINE SPRAY OR DID IT ACTUALLY ALL SEAL UP AND WORK LIKE IT WAS SUPPOSE AND NOT CATCH EVERYTHING AROUND IT ON FIRE???
