Fuel line connection

[vax]

As i have two 25L tanks i use a quick release type fixture from plastimo, unfortunatly after a bit of sloshing about they have started to leak.

So, what is your prefered quick connection for the fuel line at the tank end ?

vax, why do u need a quick release connection at the tank end mate on my tank the fuel line is permanately fixed to the tank with a jubilee clip. scott.

Scott, do you use more than one tank in a trip ?
It is not practical to swap over the primer bulb and eng connection with each tank as this is "installed" in the boat.

I'm not sure if its what your after, but on flea bay they sell motor bike quick release fuel connectors for about £15 inc of postage. item number 130220249212

I just change over the tank end connector as i have a merc and have two merc 25 ltr fuel cans

if like michael says the motorbike one's would do the job, have a look at these one's we had on the race bikes they are bloody good.

so your fuel line is permanently connected to your engine and fixed/installed to the boat, i get you now.

find out what type the connector is on your tank(i presume its female) and get the correct male one to match and fix that to your fuel line.

dont use a pattern part connector or one that isnt specifically desegnied to go with the connector on your tank as it most likely wont fit properly and you will get problems with leaking and air being sucked up the fuel pipe instead of fuel.

hope that makes sense, scott.
