Brian,

The quick disconnects are just that - quick. They instantly (almost) seal
off the gas tank and the fuel line when you release them. The hose has the
male end and the O-ring that can get chewed up. From my experience, its a
good idea to have extra O-rings around any time you disconnect the fuel
lines. Of course, I haven't had to do that for awhile, so they might have
upgraded the quality of them by now. Just be easy on it...you shouldn't have
to force it out. If you see any nicks or tears, hopefully you've identified
the extent of your problem.

Probably would be a good idea to check the O-rings out and the tank fitting
like Erik said.
