Re: what is the difference between sierra and seasense fuel parts

I can't answer your question, but I can guess. Seasense is probably made in China and is a cheap copy. Sierra may be US made, or it also may be made in China, but if it is it Chinese it is made to Sierra's specs.

A lot of the Seasense parts look cheaply made to me, and that's why I stay away from them. Also, I DID use one of their connectors a few years ago because that's all the dealer had and I needed one right now. It leaked!

For 5 or 10 bucks difference, it ain't worth it.

I always replaced the force connecters with Mercury connectors.
That way I could use all my tanks with all my motors, switched out the Johnson too.

And we switched everything to OMC at our hunt club so all the tanks and hoses were interchangeable. Even converted a Yam motor's fitting to OMC.
