Troubleshooting & FAQ
How does the sprayless feature work?
Both the male and female connectors contain check valves that automatically close and seal the moment they are disconnected. This prevents pressurized fuel from spraying, a common issue with older fitting designs.
Is this fitting compatible with ethanol fuels?

What size fuel line does the female connector fit?
The female hose fitting is designed for compatibility with the two most common marine fuel line sizes: 3/8" and 5/16".
Do I need to apply thread sealant during installation?
No, the male tank fitting comes with fuel-grade thread sealant pre-applied for your convenience, ensuring a leak-free seal without extra steps.
What are the signs of a failing fuel connector?
Signs of a failing connector include visible fuel leaks or drips at the connection point, a persistent smell of gasoline, difficulty connecting or disconnecting the fitting, or visible cracks and degradation of the housing material.
