Leak in fuel tank means I need to change tank. Haynes manual states that there are quick-release spring lugs on fuel filter supply/return pipes that require squeezing to remove pipe before tank can be lowered. Cannot locate them, squeezed till I'm blue in the face. Any ideas please?

Hey Buddycraigg, thanks so much for the advice. Now I see it, it's so obvious. I'll nip out today and hopefully find the tool available.
It's my daughter's car. As she left in mine to go and get her stuff from Uni she said "by the way the Fiesta needs topping up". Now it's on axle stands having the tank replaced. Really appreciate your help. Not sure how the voting thing works on this site but if I've got a vote, it's yours.
Regards,
Chris
