Any quick-release products out there?

The part I hate the MOST about removing my tank is removing the fuel and vacuum lines. Does anyone know of a quick-release solution?

Interesting.... now if they only had them for vacuum lines too (they can also be stubborn).

Surprisingly, I've seen those fail. Both in not stopping fuel when disconnected and stopping fuel while riding...

BUT I'm probably going to pick up some myself

shoot the vacuum lines with some silicone spray or some armorall at end of the line at the opening. makes putting them on and taking them off a breeze.

There are air lines in most trucks are kind of quick release style fittings but you would need to change all your hoses too. pretty sure you can get them in various sizes

I use Chapstick

This is all I use:

Place it flat against the end/edge of the hose and push. Comes off within seconds. No yanking, pulling, frustration involved.

Really? I assume you apply it to the nipple end.

sometimes there is nothing to pry against and sometimes when there is, you can slip and end up making an unintentional scratch.... been there, done that. I slip the hose off with my hands if I can... and some sort of lubricant does wonders if you lube it before putting it back on.
