VITON o-rings
(Viton is much longer lasting than the OEM rubber o-rings which break down from contact with fuel & oil). One size is barbed for a 6mm (1/4") fuel hose and the other is barbed for a 10mm (3/8") fuel hose (Supply fuel-hose and return fuel-hose are different sizes). These couplers are made from the same manufacturer "CPC" which made the original OEM plastic connector.
All OEM couplings do not have the added
internal safety shut-off valve
that these feature! These internal stainless steel safety valves will stop the flow of fuel when the couplers are disconnected. When connected, these internal valves will be pushed open, allowing fuel to flow across again.
The original plastic fuel line couplers are infamous to snapping off when moving the gas tank with the fuel lines attached.
You will ride & sleep much better knowing all of the plastic fuel pieces have all been replaced with metal parts, and all of the o-rings are made of the proper Viton material as needed for this application.
Alternatively, you could go to the dealer and spend the + each on getting OEM plastic couplers, but they will snap again and again and eventually leak through the rubber o-rings unlike these that will last a lifetime!
My couplers directly replace the original plastic fuel line connector
(A.K.A quick connect / disconnect, dry break, coupler, coupling).
You will need (3) small hose clamps to secure these barbed couplers to their fuel line.
For any questions at all, please message me. I have used these myself and love them. I recommend putting RTV sealant on the threads to seal them when installing, which also helps prevent the possibility of over-torquing the coupler in fear of a leak.
If you are having trouble removing a broken plastic coupler, trying using an "easy-out/screw extractor". You may have to cut down the screw extractor's tip to fit snugly, as the threaded hole on the fuel tank may be too shallow if the screw extractor is too small/long.
Have fun!
