Suzuki/Honda Fuel Tank Connector (Female, Metal, Ø9.2mm)

This female fuel connector for fuel tanks is intended for use with portable gas tanks on Suzuki and Honda outboard engines. It attaches to the end of a 9.2mm (3/8″) fuel hose and acts as the quick-connect fitting to the male barb on the tank. Thanks to its metal construction and precise dimensions, it perfectly matches the OEM fuel connectors for Honda and Suzuki, ensuring compatibility and reliability (OEM reference part numbers: 17660-ZV5-A00 and 17660-ZW9-003).

Advantages & Applications: The Ø9.2mm barb (about 3/8″) supports higher fuel flow – important for higher horsepower engines that consume more fuel. Thus, this connector is commonly used on mid-to-large outboards from Honda and Suzuki (around 40–150+ HP). Made of nickel-plated brass, it offers:

• Strength and Durability: The metal body withstands impacts, pressure, and repeated connecting/disconnecting without deforming. The nickel plating protects against corrosion, even with long-term use in saltwater environments.
• Safety on Disconnect: An integrated check valve inside the connector automatically closes when the connector is unplugged from the tank. This prevents fuel from spilling out when switching tanks or removing the hose.
• Standard Compatibility: The connector’s shape and locking mechanism adhere to Honda/Suzuki standards, meaning you can use it as a direct replacement for the original part or as a spare without any modifications needed.

Usage: Installation is straightforward – insert the connector’s barb into your 3/8″ fuel hose and secure it with a clamp. The female end simply snaps onto the tank’s male fitting – you’ll feel a click indicating a secure lock. When properly connected, the system stays airtight: fuel won’t leak and the engine won’t suck in air. This is especially critical at higher RPMs when steady fuel delivery is essential.

With this metal Suzuki/Honda tank connector, you get OEM-level reliability at an affordable price. It’s recommended for anyone who:

• Is replacing an old or damaged connector (for example, if the original plastic fitting cracked or was leaking fuel).
• Wants a spare connector on board for emergencies or to quickly hook up an additional fuel tank.
• Is rigging a new fuel system for Honda/Suzuki engines and insists on high-quality fuel fittings.

Investing in a quality metal connector ensures your engine runs smoothly and helps prevent potential issues like fuel leaks or engine stalling due to fuel starvation. It gives you confidence that your fuel delivery setup is secure and marine-grade.
