I bought a new tank and hose for my Tohatsu 6hp last year from Defender. It is suppose to be OEM. The hose is 3/8. The o-ring seems damaged. Fuel leaks out when pressurizing and air gets in while running. I am in the Bahamas now with difficult access to Tohatsu parts. Even Merc are in limited supply. If I find a Merc OEM connector or replacement from Sierra or others should the parts be interchangeable?
If the origianl tank had 5/16 hose should a 3/8 hose connector mate properly with the Tohatsu engine side connector? Just checking if this might be the source of the o-ring damage.
Engine side port diameter is approx 8mm
Barb to port center approx 15mm
Barb length 21mm
barb diameter 6mm
Thanks,
Harry
