Need help with Fuel Quick Disconnect line

[99Ranger4.0XLT]

Hey guys,

I'm new here and new to the ranger in general. Just bought the truck a month ago and tried to do some routine maintenance (oil/filter air filter, plugs/wires and fuel filter) Well trying to use the disconnect tool one of the sides of the fuel line (on the side of the engine) broke on me. I went to autozone to get new retaining clips but cannot find this nylon washer, nor do I know the order in which it goes in. Can anyone help me with this. The guy at autozone recommended getting the 5/16 replacement quick connect and cutting my old line. Any thoughts? Heres some photos of what my stuff looks like

Wow, that is really buggered up.

This may be the only time I ever say this, but I think I agree with the AZ guy.

Thanks I appreciate that. Happen to know the size of the line I need? 5/16" quick connect with the 3/8" fuel line, or the 5/16" quick connect with the 5/16" fuel line
