    Going to get a better look tomorrow and check for any more problem areas.

    They look like push lock fittings, we use them on air line at work. They are designed for soft tubing such as plastic tubing (Festo tube) which is still good for 8 bar operating pressure, but not designed to seal on metal, even though the other 2 are sealed.
    To pull it apart push the collar and pipe in, then while holding the collar in pull the pipe out. Clean the pipe ends with some wet n dry then re-assemble it.
    We have nice stainless steel chromed ones at work which look the dogs danglies---gives me a few idea's

      whoever put qr air fittings onto fuel pipe should be shot
      Yes they are air fittings, i don't think the plastic lasts that long encased in petrol though so I'd get 'em swapped for some wade connecters asap - see my how to guide on swapping fuel lines...
