Some of those fuel lines have a plastic insert that needs to be pushed in , in order to remove the fuel line. I've often used an open end wrench to push it in. It's a little tricky, but it forestalls having to purchase a special tool.

Thanks, pretty tight in there, can't see getting a wrench to work. No biggie, it'll all come out in the wash

If we're talking about the same kind of fittings, I used to use a couple of dentist's picks to compress the tabs.
