MontGuzzi Posted August 11, 2020 Posted August 11, 2020 I'm looking at replacing plastic fuel line disconnects on a 2004 Nero Corsa. Any suggestions from someone who has already done this? Was considering these as an option--made for 5/16" line. Would these work? https://www.beemerboneyard.com/cpcqkdiscon.html 1
LowRyter Posted August 11, 2020 Posted August 11, 2020 When my bike had a leaky petcock, it was replaced with a generic spout (no turn off valve). At the time, I could only find OEM type replacements for $75 and didn't have one when I needed it. So since then, I just left well enough alone. I did order some cheap outboard motor type quick-disconnects from Ebay. They are about 3 inches long so there could be mounting issues if I ever get around to it. (I have a special heat resistant fuel line that I ordered here with fitted ends.) In the meantime, I've got a cork that's looks like it will fit the existing spout. The ones you linked to look the same as the ones I have in my bins. I don't recall what the line diameter is but it fits the old gas line that I replaced. Let us know how it comes out. My guess is that you'll beat me to it. I am not going to attempt it until I need to remove the tank again.
Tinus89 Posted August 12, 2020 Posted August 12, 2020 I have managed to order these at https://www.schellen-shop.de/ for my Aprilia Caponord. Do not forget these normally come with NBR o-rings, which does not do well with (modern partly-ethanol) fuels. They sell replacement Viton o-rings, suggest to order these and replace prior to installation. I'm considering these for my V11 as well on the next tank removal, as my fuel tap is sh*t as well. 2
bbolesaz Posted August 13, 2020 Posted August 13, 2020 The Beemerboneyard ones are metal replacements for the shitty plastic ones used on BMW bikes. The plastic ones have a nasty habit of cracking and spewing high pressure fuel all over the engine. Very common BMW problem. Had to do a rather long ride home one time hoping no one threw a cigarette butt at me.
