Any auto parts store. There are a few "styles" available, the ones I have and have used for years are white plastic rings, on a black plastic base. There's five sizes in the set. Cost about 10 bucks.

I was unable to remove my fuel line with the little plastic hats - I tried several before I gave up. The Snap-On tool worked like a charm.

They're easy when you get the hang of it Push the tool into the line, then push the line and tool towards the rail. Then, pull them both back at the same time and voila

They are a necessity on all of the newer cars. Semms most manufacturers are going to this style of fitting.
