Title: Aftermarket option for fuel pump to fuel line quick disconnect fitting? Post by: Chchadder on February 21, 2009, 02:55:51 PM Has anyone else here applied just a bit too much pressure the wrong way when removing the 90 degree quick disconnect fitting from the fuel pump? And then find out that the local dealership is out of them until Friday? Yeah, me too...
Anyone find any aftermarket or other solutions to replace this somewhat flimsy part? Title: Re: Aftermarket option for fuel pump to fuel line quick disconnect fitting?

An alternative might be a thread to barb adaptor with a short length of hose to a barb fitting QD. Sometimes that puts the QD in a more accessible place anyway. Thanks for the FBF link, man. I just ordered some QDs for my M900. Title: Re: Aftermarket option for fuel pump to fuel line quick disconnect fitting? Post by: fasterblkduc on February 24, 2009, 07:50:07 AM I just cut the fuel lines somewhere in the middle of the span, and put in a straight barb fitting. Then when I want to remove the tank, clamp off the line just above the fitting, remove my hose clamp from the barb fitting and you can pull the line off easy as pie. it will cost less than five dollars for the fittings and hose clamps at H-Depot.

Yes there are. This is just a much cheaper fix. When you clamp the hose, it doesn't take too much pressure. If you are easy on them, they will be just fine. |
