Need to find out if anyone knows of anybody that makes a good quality 90 degree quick release fitting for the hoses that come off the fuel pump on a 00 Speed triple - have had a couple of the factory plastic ones split and when the ignition is turned on fuel sprayed (have to admit not sure how the other end of the quick release fitting is attached to the fuel pump so not sure if will need to replace the whole line setup)
I sure do hate to admit being THIS stupid but here goes. The smell of gas on my Sprint is coming from a white nylon valve on the lower back right hand side (throttle side) of the gas tank. Is that a "quick disconnect" fitting?How difficult is this to fix?
Thanks :???:
That's the one - mine developed a crack in the recessed part of the nylon fitting - down side to one of these stuffing up is that you can only purchase them as a complete pair - male&female fitting - One side of the fitting screws into the fuel pump and the other end into the fuel line
Oh Yeah,
Had this happen on the inaugural run to the hills for my recently aquired 98 T595. Turns out that a previously bodged up fix to a cracked fuel line connector failed and was spraying like a fire hose all over my back tire. The very real possibility of descending Brasstown Bald stradling a ball of fire with the rear end stepping out like Joe Jackson in heels gave me pause as I sat on the side of the highway trying to figure out a stop gap fix using a hose clamp and a rubber worm fishing lure. When that didn't pan out I went with a hunch and left the leaking fitting (the top one) disconected and started it up with just the bottom hose connected. It ran just fine and I made it 100 miles back home, including a 140mph top end check! I don't know yet what I did or even if I connected the proper hose but until I can replace both fittings, I'm running it like that.
Cheers.

i found this sight by accident but i believe we might find it useful it is U.S. Plastics.com they have a wide selection of quick disconnect fittings prices are around $6.98 each (you read that right and they will handle the necessary psi and chemical qualities of gas....in fact they look EXACTLTY like what Triumph uses.
