Quick release fuel connectuons

[mpgscott]

So been reading of a possible weak spot being the quick release connections. So with me swapping the fuel tank on my GS to that of a GSA tank can anyone recommend a set of compatible connections for a 2011 GSA tank?

Or do I simply wait and see how I get on with the existing connections.

Thanks as normal

See how you get on. Don't be too brutal with them and you'll probably be fine.

Don`t be tempted with the Chinese ones they look the same but are 0.5mm different size so are not compatible.

It's the plastic stub on the pump that the pipe connects to that is most vulnerable. O ring in the connector may be old and dry so a bit of lubrication, maybe petrol or even just water will help.

Looks like they simply screw in the stubby one on pump, i see that Motorworks do them and they are like a tenner for i take it the plastic ones.
