portable fuel tank quick disconnect

[redneck joe]

ready to add my extra 6 gal up under the casting deck (will be ttl 18 gal). I pre-plumbed so just need to hook up.

Question is in the different kinds avail is one better than the other. Only real qualifier is need to factor in arthritis. The one at the motor now is the old push and twist merc thing and that is a killer to me but don't disconnect that much so i'll live with it.

The 12 gal is hard connected now want it removeable as well as the 6 up front.

I think that they are designed to be difficult to disconnect .... least they come off accidently .
My Tohatsu has a push fit thing similar to an air line thats a push on pull off thing . Easy enough to replace sealing O rings when needed

I had trouble with the outboard I fixed for them kids , had a 2 pronged fitting that was a proper ***** to push on far enough to latch .

I have the newer Merc quick connects and I have arthritus, especially in my hands. I have no issue with connecting and disconnecting these fittings. I connect it each time I launch, and disconnecting when putting it on the trailer.
