1989 fleetwood Econoline 350 fuel leak
Hi guys, I found this underneath leaking fuel. Can you tell me what this l shaped piece is and how to replace it?

That vintage used a clip in the quick-disconnect coupling. No special tool. The clip is somewhat like the plastic safety "plugs" we stick in wall sockets to keep kids from sticking metal things in. There's a little barb on each plastic leg of the clip to keep it from backing out of that black plastic fitting.
It's possible to put a used clip, barbs missing, then hold it in place with a Zip Tie. I don't think trying to use Zip Ties without a Clip will set the connection up correctly.
A new fuel filter usually comes with Clips. A "Help" display at an auto supply might have them. Could be worth buying a filter. If I can find the picture of one I'll post it.
Both Filters have an early model Clip on the left end. The two prongs are over the tubing into the filters. Notice how one side of the head of the clip has a triangular protrusion.
The tool on the right, connecting the two filters, is for the "garter spring" quick disconnect on later year Fords.
