it just has a hose clamp on it. Take pliers and pinch the clamp together then move it past the metal part the hose is on or pinch the clamp while you pull the hose off. Its not too hard except some times the ears you have to grab are facing the wrong way so you may have a hard time turning/reaching them.

what about it? If it was any different I would have told you. The clamps are the same.

Undo them, twist the hose and take it off. Its really that easy.

OK if you dont see it then either you havent looked far enough to the tank (its right up on it) or it broke. I honestly dont think it broke so you need to look again.

Here is a pic of the filler off of my parts car so you can see...clips are circled.

Wow... but everyone has brain fart moments. I was checking fuses one day on tail lights that didn't work. I pulled out the fuse, saw it was burnt, and stuck it right back.

A co-worker came up, ask me to help him with something. So I stopped, helped him out, came back, and for 30 mins I couldn't figure out why the brake lights weren't working. Of course, I think that was more of a lack of coffee moment... so nevermind.
