Selva/Tohatsu/Nissan Outboard Fuel Connector (Engine Side, Female, Ø8mm)

This 8mm female fuel connector is designed for the engine side of the fuel line on Selva, Tohatsu, and Nissan outboard motors. It attaches to the end of your fuel hose leading to the engine and serves as the quick-release coupling – it snaps onto the male fitting on the engine. This connector adheres to the standard used by these brands, meaning it will fit most of their portable tank fuel systems that utilize 8mm hoses.

Features & Usage: Made from durable engineering plastic, the female coupling withstands prolonged exposure to fuel without cracking or leaking. Its internal mechanism contains a spring-loaded valve and O-ring that ensure an automatic seal when connected to the engine’s male fitting. This provides a secure, tight lock, eliminating the chance of fuel spillage or air intrusion that could cause stalling or uneven engine performance. Here are some scenarios where this product proves especially useful:

• Replacing an Old Connector: If your current engine-side connector drips fuel or pops off easily, swapping in this new connector will restore fuel system reliability and safety.
• Building a New Fuel Hose: When setting up an additional fuel line (e.g., for a backup tank or a more convenient tank location), you’ll need this female connector on the engine end of the hose to interface with the outboard.
• Ease of Maintenance: The quick-connect design lets you easily disconnect the fuel line from the engine – useful for winterizing your motor or during transport. This protects the engine’s fuel fitting from damage and makes handling the fuel line hassle-free.

The connector’s compact size and user-friendly design make connection and disconnection straightforward, even one-handed. It is engineered to fit snugly – you’ll hear and feel a “click” when it’s properly attached, indicating a secure hookup. Thanks to its standard compatibility, this Selva/Tohatsu/Nissan female connector can replace OEM couplings at a fraction of the cost while maintaining premium performance. It’s an essential spare to keep on board for any outboard owner relying on portable fuel tanks.
