Fuel line connectors

[ThAzKat]

Does anyone use these? If so, how do you like them? Are they worth having for use of normal or average maintenance?

One of my friends is using them on his race bike, and it works for him well. As for u, it depends on how often do u remove your tank? I would say it's personal preference.

WOW that took some time for anyone to reply. If you like to tinker like I do, the tank is off atleast once a week.

Are those the ones from Triumph? If so, they've been known to fail every 5 to 8 couplings. I'm not sure about after-market ones. I've gotten to the point that I can get the hose off the petcock and the vacuum line off the carb (plus disconnect the TPS and the sender pigtail) in about 90 seconds, so such connectors don't make much sense to me for the Kats... I suspect the answer would be way different for a bike that uses a fuel-pump.

They are from a company called Air Tech. They are supposed to stop any flow of fuel when disconnected.

I've used some of that firm's other products, so I'd be inclined to believe that they would work as advertised. How much do they get for a set of them?

I will get the info for you and post it. I know I have found them in a couple of places.

$16 for single 1/4 to $31 for double feed 5/16ths
Motion pro also has them and they are about the same price.
