Replacing OMC Pressure Tank Fittings - 1950's 7.5 Evinrude Fleetwin

[andy7918]

I have a OMC pressure tank that leaks fuel from the fittings. Does anyone know a replacement quick connect make or brand that will work on the 3/16" fuel lines that I am running? It seems like everything online is for 3/8" lines... I have already replaced the o rings..

Did you use the factory o-rings for a pressure tank ?

Would the above work on a 2 hose pressure tank ????

You can buy the original design hose-end fitting from Mastertech Marine. You probably should be seated when you see the price. (At least it won't end up looking like a frankenstein fuel line :lol

Never had a problem stopping leaks with factory replacement o-rings.

yep.....they need to be the proper o-ring, and its the much cheaper option!!!

You can find the proper twin-line hose here on iboats: http://www.iboats.com/Twin-Fuel-Line-Hose/dm/cart_id.910183657--session_id.758859991--view_id.269091

Don't know if they sell by the foot. If not, you can order from any sierra dealer.. napa, carquest, etc.

Good luck!

I am pretty sure I damaged the housing or something on the stick female fitting when I was replacing the orings the first time. Specifically getting the rotten old ones out. Got impatient and used a pair of needle nose. anyways I just used a in line brass barbed male fitting from the home depot plumbing section to skip the pressure fitting for now. NWCove, I liked those ones you showed on e-bay, I will probably give them a try.
