Oh man I have a drawer full
The ones that work the best on Fords are these:


I also have these:


I have had fuel lines that simply will not come apart in the past
Usually the little metal spring inside gets destroyed and we get them apart one way or the other. You can buy a replacement spring at most auto parts stores and bend it in there, with a new O ring the fitting is good as new

Sometimes you can cut a sharpie lid at the correct height (if you can picture it) that it will slide in there more easily then the tool and release the spring all the way around. It is like a chinese finger puzzle, you need to press the fitting together while pressing the tool in and sometimes twisting. Pliers can help.

The Gen II fuel fittings are a PITA
I prefer my 88 BII with the plastic pull out quick connectors. I love my 88 in so many ways, they were still basic........
