Fuel tank and line for Yamaha 20hp

Please can anyone advise.
Had my fuel tank and fuel line stolen off Seaview overnight last night.
Need to replace, but is the connector to engine unique to Yamaha or are all engines of similar size using identical fuel line connectors ?

I ask because nearest outboard dealer is Mercury and Yamaha dealers quite a way, away.

Cheers.

Sorry to hear that.

The fuel line connectors can vary between makes. You can buy the correct fuel connector from most chandlers. I bought my last Yamaha one from my local chandlers (a non Yamaha dealer). It didn't cost much.

They're standard across makes for a range of motors (i.e. a Yamaha 200 won't have the same connection as your 20.)

Shouldn't be a problem to find one for a smaller Yam. Any chandler who deals with Yamaha stuff should have it.
