1994 DT65 fuel connector size

Hi, anyone know what diameter fuel connector a 1994 model has? I believe there is an 11mm and 13mm.

Thanks,

John

Not sure what's on yours, but I just put straight barb connectors on both my motors (got tired of the orings causing leaks/suckling air), and the price didn't make me feel good either. So, what's the reason for them? I'm not going to need any quick dissconnects for motors bolted on the transom, to heavy to lift. Lol

Good luck.

I agree the originals aint cheap! Current connector is round one with a pull ring to disconnect. Got a 65HP Suzuki and what I want to do is use the same 2 Suzuki fuel tanks with the auxiliary Honda which has a different connector. I want to chop off the Honda and fix a Suzuki so I can quickly swap engine/tank. I don't want a dedicated tank for the Honda as would rather use the big 25L tanks.

Does the barb connector not affect fuel flow at all? Would be easier and cheaper to put them on!

Neither connector interferes with fuel flow. The orings in the quick-disconnect gave me continued problems, always leaking air into system, or fuel out (when pumping bulb).

All of my tanks are built-in, so I didn't need the quick-disconnects. Haven't had any problems with fuel lines, flow, or air in system since.

Good luck.
