Every outboard seems to have different fuel line connectors, and this is one area where we wish outboard manufacturers would standardize. As the array of pre-assembled fuel lines and fuel line connectors we stock will attest, this hasn’t happened yet.
There are three choices in assembling a fuel system for your outboard engine:
- Purchase an Ultra Flow Fuel System matched to your engine. Everything you need—tank, fuel line and quick connector for your engine—is included. With these systems, the hose is permanently attached to the tank.
- Purchase a portable tank, then add a Tempo Ultra Flow Fuel Line Assembly designed for your engine. You’ll need to attach the appropriate 1/4” NPT quick connector to the tank in order to connect the tank end of the hose.
- Purchase a portable tank, a universal fuel line with primer bulb, or a length of outboard fuel hose and primer bulb individually. Then add quick connectors matched to your engine. For a removable hose, use three connectors (one for the tank and two for the hose, matched to your engine). For a hose that’s permanently attached to the tank, use a 1/4” NPT pipe-to-hose barb at the tank end, and the appropriate quick connector at the engine end.
