Quick connector having a coupling body and a multifunctional part with a retention unit and an indicator. The coupling body includes a head portion at one end and a plug-in portion at the other end, the plug-in portion configured for attaching to a first tube, the head portion having an axial opening for introduction of a counterpart with a circumferential collar. The head portion has at least one radial opening for inserting the multifunctional part, the multifunctional part having a back for manual operation for the purpose of being inserted into the coupling body. The retention unit has two retention legs, and the indicator has two indicator limbs movable independently of the retention legs when inserting the circumferential collar. The indicator limbs and the coupling body are configured so that the indicator can be transferred from a partially inserted preassembly position to a fully inserted assembly position via movement of the indicator limbs.

Multi-layered fuel feed pipe, wherein the feed pipe comprises at least five layers with the following layer structure from the inside to the outside: an innermost layer consisting of at least one polymer from the group 'polyamide, fluoropolymer, polyphenylene sulfide, polybutylene naphthalate', a first support layer consisting of polyamide, a barrier layer, a second support layer consisting of polyamide, an outer layer consisting of at least one polymer from the group 'polyamide, polyphenylene sulfide, polyphthalamide'.

A tube end having an outwardly projecting ridge is secured in a fitting having a body formed with a seat centered on an axis and open axially rearwardly. The tube end is coaxially engageable in the seat, and a retaining clip on the body extends secantally across the seat and can move between an outer spread position engaging a respective inner surface of the seat and an inner retaining position spaced radially inward from the respective inner surface. The tube end when fully axially inserted in the seat is engaged axially outward of the ridge by the clip. A latch element can move between an outer freeing position generally clear of the clip and an inner locking position engaged outward of the clip between same and the respective inner surface and preventing the clip from moving from the inner retaining position to the outer spread position.
