See full version: Yamaha outboard gas leak at connector
Has anyone had any fuel leak problems with the new twist lock fuel line fittings? My 6 gallon portable tank leaks where the fuel line connects to the fuel tank. Last time I disconnected it gas sprayed out like the bearing inside the fuel side was stuck. It may have been because of the compression though.
Any help would be appreciated.
Sounds like there will be a lot more fuel spills as when the primer bulb and lines get pressured up the weak link will be found.
1.) I'm trying to find a Yamaha Fuel Line connector, to support 5/16" (8mm I assume) fuel line barb, in the MALE format. I can find 6mm barb and I can find with a metal NPT type connection.
2.) Is my boat just rigged strangely? It has a 5/16" line running from separator at back of motor that runs to inside of boat. It has a male connector on end (that I'm trying to replace in #1 above).
3.) From Tank back to the connection point, there is a standard 5/16" Yamaha pre-fab line with a FEMALE on both ends, with a primer bulb built in. The Female of the pre-fab line has to fit to a Male. (There is male coming off the tank, but I can't find a male with 5/16" line connection for the engine side of the line.)
4.) I do not have a separator in the boat, just the small one on back of motor.
It is 15 years old and I am replacing from tank to separator tank, but the one piece I'm missing is a Male Connector to put on the end of the hose coming from engine.
Any suggestions? (I've searched on and off for days online. I don't want the 'tank' fitting. I need one I can barb into a line.)

Insert the brand-specific quick connector into the motor end of the fuel hose. Secure the connector using a hose clamp and Phillips screwdriver.

I have a 1985 Honda B100. hunting around the boat yard I found about ten hoses only one fits although they all look the same.
I found the following description from a seller on ebay I haven't received it yet but this seems to sum up what I see is the answer.
I need to replace the fuel connector which fits into my Honda 5hp 4 stroke but the one available from Honda and, it seems every other maker, has too narrow a diameter for the tube from the tank.
