You sent the wrong item as advertised. Sent another production and part for Suzuki instead of what I needed for my Honda. It was a lot harder to get the return label than it should have been, enough trouble!
Have used plastic versions on my smaller boat and had great success with them. Just ordered these for my large boat to be able to replace the inner tank with an outer tank at the end of the season.
Purchased to make an extra fuel line for an OEM Honda Outboard Fuel Tank (20HP). The OEM range had a plastic one, so he thought this metal one would be better - WRONG, it won't fit. I don't know if it was defective, but the locking balls inside won't engage the OEM fuel port on the gas tank no matter what I've tried. By the way, I'm not new to boats and outboard motors. I'm back and it seems to be working fine at least so thanks to atwood and amazon for trying to get it right.
