Reply To: old style Evinrude fuel tank connectors

[wek]

A few years ago I forgot to pack the hose for my 1968 Evinrude 9.5  I stopped halfway there at my brother’s place but he did not have a spare so I bought one half way to our destination.  The tank side fit as expected but the motor side connector had an extra casting bump that prevented it the latch from “clicking” on.  Since I wasn’t close to where I bought it, i used a pocket knife to scrape away the bump.  It worked fine and does not leak.  I figured if there was a problem I would buy another fitting locally.
