Fuel tank connector
Hi all
I have Mercury Mariner quick connectors on my tanks but recently acquired this old tank. I’d like to use it and have a spare fuel line but not sure which connector I need for the tank end?

Anyone?

Pretty sure it's this…

On an older tank like that I'd undo the screws, pull the unit out and check the pickup filter and pipe are clear and secure.

Thanks mate

That looks to be the one. Yeah I’ll open it up and check. Just hadn’t seen the connector before and didn’t know what to call it.
