Not trying to state the obvious but if it is fuel injected you should not use barbed fitttings... the fuel lines are under presure that barbed fittings and worm gear clamps cannot hold.

Otherwise, you can check with NAPA, Fastenal, Lawson Products, etc... for fittings.

on the other end of the quick coupler is a barb fitting with a cheep constant pressure clamp so yes you could replace it but why. Just curios.

well i took thje fitting out, i don't like the fact as soon as you touch them they leak and you have to replace the o rings everytime, with the right size barb the hose shouldn't come off even without a clamp added for security... anyone know where i can get the thread pitch for the tank with the barb?.. eaither 90 or 45*? would aeroquip make that? any links?

I couldnt find a strait thread to 90 barb. The best I got was an adapter from male straight thread to female pipe. Then you can use normal hardware for the rest. I need to spec mine to get the correct size for the straight thread portion. Totaly forgot but got a note written down now!
