First timer.
I've been out of the "boating business", so to speak for SEVERAL years.
I retired am READY to F-I-S-H..( Is this four letter word allowed........ )
I bought a Nissan 9.8 (used).
I need to know if the fitting that connects to the engine is common to any other boat motor.
AND, I need to know which fittings will connect to my OMC gasoline tank.
I bought a pair of two (2) different fittings, hoping one of these fittings might fit the engine and / or the gasoline tank.............cross breed if you will ???
The fittings are Seasense (Brand).
One being P/N 50052272..............Johnson/Evenrude............Appears to fit the tank
The other being P/N 50052292.........Yamaha..................Appears to fit the engine.
Both labeled Female Fuel Connector.
Now, yesterday I tried to connect the fittings to the engine and the gas tank before hooking them to the fuel line.
The fitting that appears to fit the engine is a little SNUG on the guide pin.
The fitting that appears to fit the gas tank set just a little loose.
It appears the fittings might be the right size for fuel acceptance ???
I am NOT trying to fit a 1/4" on a 5/16" or anything DUMB like this.
The common denominator in all this ???
The fuel line (with primer bulb) is 3/8".
The fuel line end of the fittings are all 3/8".
I don't want a leak.
Anyhoo, If anybody can decipher all these words and give me a clue, I will appreciate you.
If I need to buy a new tank and fuel line specific to my 9.8, I will.
I just need to know what I need.
Do I need to buy items labeled "Nissan / Tohatsu " ???
Thanx, Gene
