Came up with an effective trick for removing stuck on fuel lines today. They usually pop off pretty easy, but sometimes you get a fighter. I'm willing to bet some of you already have a similar method ;)

Pick out your removal tool and slip it in place
Firmly clamp Vise-Grip pliers at the base of the fitting, using caution to not crush the line of course.
Push against the Vise-Grips with vacuum hose removal pliers while twisting the line removal tool and pulling on the line
And there you have it!

I've never used this brand, but this style pliers is similar to the ones I used. A very good tool for removing vacuum hoses. Saved many a nipple for certain ;)
