Hey guys, quick question

Anyone know the thread size/pattern or part number for the brass barb fitting on the fuel/water separator, input side? I need the same part so I can use it on the 2nd output side to feed fuel to a kicker motor.

For a reference it is the brass barbed fitting next to number 11 on the diagram linked in this post.

Thanks!

Ayuh,..... The Alpha 1, Gen.II is an outdrive, it don't have a fuel filter,......

The motor in front of it does though,.....

99% of those fittings are 1/4" pipe, though I have seen 3/8" pipe,.....

If it measures 'bout 3/8" od, it's 1/4" pipe,....
3/8" pipe measures 'bout 1/2" od,.....

Bondo has Steered you straight . The drawing attached showed a 1/4" plug in the opposite side, so 1/4 NPT will do it

You'll need to put check valves or 1/4 turns in BOTH outlets if you want to do it that way. If you don't, the engine running will pull air from the other...

Thanks for that info, I thought about putting one in line for the outdrive but I guess it makes sense to put one in the other too!
