[QUOTE="HickInTheSticks, post: 390767, member: 18253"] Not leaking at the tank, mine leaks where my female quick disconnect fitting meets the male fitting on my outboard. It locks on properly and everything and is definitely the right size - the shop only had 2 sizes of Mercury and I bought both and one fits perfect. Yet it will leak fuel when the primer bulb is compressed AND the fuel filter is full. It'll fill the filter without leaking as it should... once the filter is full the pressure causes it to leak out where the male/female connect together on the outboard. It's just a crappy plastic piece and I'd much prefer a barb fitting to clamp the fuel line down to more permanently. Been raining all day so I haven't really had the opportunity to mess with it.
