Fuel line q/d connectors.

[davegs]

Just done a service on the tractor, 1150 GS and after fitting the new alternator belt found it wouldent start!!, thought back to Mr S's sticky re belts
thought I'd damaged the wire from the hall sensors, got a spare plug and all sparking well. Finally found that the q d connector was ever so slightly out of position and I mean very slightly. And so of course no fuel getting through,
so pushed it hard and all was well again. So, if your stuck check mthis little point so slightly out I couldent belive that was the prob, but it was and all is well.

Where did you get the connectors from? What's the fuel line size 11x8mm? i assume the 8 mm is the internal diameter?

Originally got these from Halfrauds, went back acouple of weeks ago as I"lost" one from my other tank and they diden't sell them any more, the
BB assistant dident know what I was talking about and he was on the "spares counter" told me there wern't such things!!. These were quicker than TT but about the same price, your local friendly BMW dealer will have them. Your local branch of halfrauds may stock them, come on a card hanging on the display board usually. Well worth gettin save so much agro talking the tank off.

You can pay a fortune for all metal Q/Ds, or just buy a male one in metal ( they are the more likely to break apparently )... or buy plastic ones for around £12 ..
