Here is a "better" description of releasing/installing the connectors from the forester manual.
When you release the connector the "retainer" remains on the pipe as per the lower lefthand drawing, which you then remove.
To install, the retainer is fitted into the connector and the connector pushed onto the pipe.

Worse case senario, the individual plastic fuel pipes on top of the tank can be replaced as there are further connectors under the other cover where they connect to the main fore/aft metal pipes.

More than likely.
Hence always best to renew.

Swapped a couple of the clips about still leaking can you replace the yellow seal in the hose connector or is it full hose pipe replacement

Looking at the pipe diagram it looks like the one highlighted in blue and includes retainers for both ends...
Not sure how accessible the two clamps marked 42037F*A will be.......
