    I like the pliers idea.  I bought new old style connectors, so I want to use them.  I can make the pliers with my bench vise, a drill, and my bench grinder.  What, if any, benefit is there in ditching the pressure tanks and installing the fuel pump on one of these old outboards.  I know a lot of guys do it, but why?  Is it because the pressure tanks have gotten leaky and are making a mess of the bilge?
