Quick connects on the gas tank
Just came back from Hatfield McCoy this weekend (awesome place) and my fiances quick connect to the gas tank is leaking, pretty bad. We first started off by replacing the gasket on the male end (female gasket we cannot get to) That did not work. So, we used gas tank repair and electrical tape for a quick fix.
So, I guess my question would be:
Who sells these quick connects for the gas tanks and has anyone else had this problem? We both have '03 Cannibals.

Hmm that is weird I actually removed the inner o-ring so I could run race gas without it swelling.It doesnt leak.All it does is seal off the gas when the male fitting is removed.Maybe the oring on the male end is wrong size or the fitting is out of round or nicked.I am working on getting some better fittings I will pick them up today and post info.They are for marine engines and have better o-rings that dont swell.

Quick connects
Here is what I came up with had to drill and tap for the insert which the pickup hose attaches to.These have the brown o-ring in them which will not swell.

I bought the connectors at local Fleet Farm.
Tempo #240080 mod#484cfc female end $6.49
Tempo #220060 mod#461crc male end $6.49
They are used for Force outboard motors so flow and safety should be fine.A better fix would be to find this type of o-rings for our connectors since these will require some work to make.Brown orings.
