115hp 2 stroke and quick connects.

[lapl0007]

Looking to add a 12 gallon fuel tank as a secondary tank for a trip to Canada. Want to increase range.
What I would like to know is if anyone has has success with adding a quick connect in the fuel line at higher HPs (like my old 1983 115 merc 2 stroke) and not having fuel flow issues.

Is there a reason a regular 9.9 style quick connect off a 6 gallon set up wouldn't work at higher flow?

Different quick connects use different fuel lines. You need a quick connect for 3/8" fuel line.

Make sure the quick connect seals when disconnected, or it will suck air into the fuel system.

You might use a fuel selector valve instead. A much better idea as they should seal well.

What Chris said. If you go with a quick connect, I prefer the Chrysler round connecters above the regular two pin connecters. They seal well and don't leak for me.
