Honda Outboard Fuel Connector Female 8 mm – Engine Side (F/LS Type)

This female fuel connector is for Honda outboard engines that use the F/LS standard – the “new” type of fuel connector Honda introduced on many of its later models. The connector attaches to the end of the fuel hose leading to the engine and allows quick hookup to the male fitting mounted on the engine itself. The hose barb diameter is 8 mm, which corresponds to 5/16" – a size commonly used for fuel lines on small to mid-size outboards.

It is constructed with a combination of high-quality fuel-resistant plastic and metal components (for example, stainless steel pins and springs), providing durability and reliability. When you push this female connector onto the engine’s male fitting, you will hear a distinct “click” – that’s the locking mechanism ensuring the connection is made correctly. The internal seal (O-ring) snugly fits around the male tip, preventing any fuel leakage or air ingress.

Use Cases: The Honda F/LS female connector covers a wide range of models. “F” often denotes Honda’s 4-stroke engines (e.g. the BF series), and “LS” may refer to specific model ranges or versions. In practice, if your Honda outboard was made from the late 1990s onward and uses a rectangular/round connector with a single locking pin, it’s likely the F/LS standard. Typical engines with this connector include the Honda BF 5, BF 20, BF 50, BF 100, etc. The female hose connector we offer will fit them perfectly. It’s also useful in transition scenarios – for example, if you are updating an older fuel line to the new style connector, this component is what you need on the hose end.

Recommendations: Installation is straightforward: slide a 8 mm fuel hose onto the barb and secure it with a clamp. Ensure the connector’s orientation is correct – the side with the locking mechanism should face the engine. Keep the O-ring clean and lightly lubricated with silicone grease to ensure smooth connection and disconnection. If replacing an old connector, compare the new one to it – the locking features should match up in size. After attaching to the engine, check for any fuel drips when priming the bulb or running the motor. With this Honda F/LS female connector, you can be confident your fuel line is securely connected and ready for every engine start.
