Default Leaking Fuel Line Quick-connectors

Does anyone have a simple solution for stopping leaky quick-connects for the fuel lines? Mine began to leak when the temperature dropped below 40F. I really do not want to have to replace them if it is not necessary. Thanks in advance

First line of defense for anything like that is disconnect, clean the fittings and reconnect. I operate mine in temps in the teens with no problems -- 40 is freakin' tropical these days.

Update: I ended up having to replace the tank check valves. Normally this would have been simple, except that H/D does not have replacement parts. New check valves, connectors, fuel lines, etc. (all kit based) were replaced. The good news is that the scooter is running great and my wife and I have already been on a few eary-bird benefit poker runs!

Thanks to all who responded. Awesome forum.
