Installation Notes

  1. Turn the engine off and work in a well-ventilated area away from sparks, flames, and other ignition sources.
  2. Relieve fuel-system pressure as directed by the engine or fuel-system manufacturer before removing the old connector.
  3. Confirm that the replacement connector matches the original tank-end fitting and that the fuel hose has the correct 5/16-inch inside diameter.
  4. Slide a suitable fuel-line clamp over the hose before pressing the hose fully onto the connector barb, if a clamp is required for your installation.
  5. Secure the hose with the appropriate clamp and position it over the barbed section without damaging or cutting the hose.
  6. Attach the connector to the matching male fitting on the portable fuel tank until it is fully seated and locked.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I know if this connector fits my application?

Confirm that your Mercury or Mariner application is in the 4–40 HP range and uses the same clip-on, tank-end female connector. Compare the original connector, hose size, locking interface, and reference number before ordering.

Is this the tank-end or engine-end connector?

This is the tank-end, female connector for a compatible portable fuel tank. The engine-end connector is a different component and should not be substituted for this fitting.

What hose size does this connector use?

The connector is intended for fuel hose with a 5/16-inch, approximately 8 mm, inside diameter. Verify the hose dimensions before installation.

What are the signs of a worn fuel connector?

Fuel seepage, a loose connection, difficulty connecting or disconnecting, visible cracking, or air entering the fuel line can indicate that the connector should be replaced. Do not operate the boat if a fuel leak is present.

Does the connector include a hose clamp?

The product is the fuel tank connector. The required hose clamp should be confirmed against the supplied package and your existing fuel line; use a suitable marine fuel-line clamp when required by the installation.

Is this an OEM part?

This listing is for an aftermarket replacement connector identified for use with Mercury/Quicksilver reference 22-13563Q7. Mercury and Quicksilver are manufacturer trademarks; this listing does not claim to be supplied by Mercury Marine.

How often should a fuel connector be replaced?

There is no universal replacement interval. Inspect the connector and hose regularly for leaks, cracks, looseness, or material deterioration, and replace the component immediately if damage or leakage is found.

Safety & Important Information

  • Confirm the connector style, hose size, and reference number against your original part before purchase.
  • Fuel-system work should be performed with the engine off in a well-ventilated area away from ignition sources.
  • Do not operate the engine if fuel leakage, hose damage, or an insecure connection is detected.
