Little fuel line fittings? Quick release like shark bite.
Anyone recognize these?

fittings for for pneumatic control is my guess

They are quick release fittings for airline. Looking at the size probably for 1/4" line.

Good guess. I am thinking these fittings are for oxygen in a hospital setting. The material looks like stainless.

My older Bend Pakift uses those fittings for the locks and rolling jacks.
Looks more like bronze or brass to me. Push-in fittings for nylon air tubing, maybe on trucks.
I've used a gazillion of these for pneumatic lines on industrial manufacturing equipment. They work well, but not well enough for oxygen or liquid fuel, as one person suggested. This is the same type of fitting that is being used in plumbing (Shark Bite). Having seen a lot of these fittings leak over the years, I would never bury a plumbing connector like this behind a finished wall!

Link above is to the mfg of some those fittings. As said they are for pneumatic controls systems. There are a few competing vendors for 'push loc' style fittings. Come in metric and SAE sizes. Most are for specific tubing materials. The valves can be check, needle, flow controls and some others. Fluid compatibilities should be checked with the mfg of the fittings you intend to use if using this type of fittings. Like 73project I also have used lots of these over the years.

Generically, they're push-fit fittings. I believe John Guest made them first--rumors are, they were developed for use by Ford for fuel lines.
JG now seems to only make plastic ones, for air, non-flammable gasses and beverages. There are many manufacturers and a plethora of materials for just about every application that uses tubing--including, yes, Shark Bite. The fuel line connectors on the steel lines of my Toyota are a variety of push-fit.
I have dozens, if not hundreds, in use in the brewery and pub. They're especially useful for applications where lines are regularly replaced, like beer systems.

Well, don't get into any fuel-injected vehicles ever again; they're full of push-lock fittings.

Truck fittings have to be marked D.O.T. not that I've ever seen a failure report for a fitting not marked as such........... Have seen them for the bozos that stick a piece of pipe in a main airline and use 2 hose clamps to hold it together along with the big red sticker on the windshield.
The manufacturing site that I worked at would do a compressed air audit every year. This would involve using a sound meter to detect any air leaks in the plant automation pneumatic systems. We will alway find a few of these types of fittings that were leaking from the connection. This is why I wouldn't trust this type of fitting on something that could catch fire or flood my house. I don't think I've heard of this regularly happening with automotive fuel injection push connectors, so there must be a difference in the two applications.

Spot on.
A friend had a small accident with a VW POLO 1998, front to tree. Not hard.
The fuel injectors sit totally exposed in front of the engine and the fuel manifold has the plastic supply and return "piping"with
push in connectors. Both jumped out and spewed fuel onto the exhaust manifold, Car burnt.
He wanted to see the wreck with his insurance guy.
VW had removed it from police yard and no inspection possible .

There are no automotive fuel lines that use this type of push lock fitting.
fuel line fittings are metal spring lock with double seal rings and packing or hard plastic with double seal rings and packing that snap on a metal line.
Trucks use them for air lines and they leak with age and use cycles, the o'rings get hard and wear a ridge around the nylon line
Volvo actually sells a kit to rebuild the fittings, it has inserts, o'rings, outer lock rings in it.
