push forward on the line and push the clip in i do believe. there should be a test port on the fuel rail were you can relieve the pressure.

You will need a set of fuel line tools. Pull the blue clip out then push in with the tool and pull the hose off the FF

Fuel line disconnect tool. About 5 bucks for one with multiple sizes at your local autozone/advance/pep boys.

That's the way mine looked and I try to always get Shell or Chevron when possible. BP if I can't get to those 2. I try to stay away from cheap discount gas.... not worth it to save a penny per gal
