Default Fuel line disconnect Safety Clips

Where can I buy replacements - local Chev dealer says I have to buy the whole fuel line set to get the clips??? How important are these clips?? Thanks guys!

The white ones that go inside the black plastic hoses? Those are very important.

Go to an autoparts store and look at the GM fuel filters, all the FRAM ones come with new clips. Its probably cheaper than new lines.

Eric - I'm not describing them very well. The braided fuel line, between the firewall and the fuel rail, has two disconnects and two safety clips. The clips snap on the fuel line and have u-shaped tines that insert into the disconnect. Better description? Thanks for the help.

That must be something they added in later years. My '99 doesnt even have that clip, so I'd say you're probably ok without it.
