I need a pic of the rail because some of them have a plastic retaining clip and some have a metal prongs on the inside. Causing two different ways to disconnect

those plastic "buck bill" clips are normally on the suction side of the pump and i have never seen them actually factory installed on fuel rails....a fuel line disconnect tool is needed for the fuel rail...
