VITON o-rings
(Viton is much longer lasting than the OEM rubber o-rings which break down from fuel & oil). This coupler is made from the same manufacturer "CPC" which made the original OEM plastic connector.
The original plastic fuel line couplers are infamous to snapping off when moving the gas tank with the fuel lines attached.
Some of these BMW bikes listed here use only one, and some use two! Check your bike before ordering! Y
ou will ride and sleep much better knowing that you have replaced those horrible plastic couplers with metal ones using the
proper
VITON o-rings
.
Alternatively, you could go to the dealer and spend the + on getting another OEM plastic coupler, but they will snap again and again and eventually leak through the rubber o-ring unlike these that will last a lifetime!
For any questions at all, please message me. I have used these myself and love them. I recommend putting RTV sealant on the threads to seal them when installing, which also helps prevent the possibility of over-torquing the coupler in fear of a leak.
If you are having trouble removing a broken plastic coupler, trying using an "easy-out/screw extractor". You may have to cut down the screw extractor's tip to fit snugly, as the threaded hole on the fuel tank may be too shallow if the screw extractor is too small/long.
The pictures above show an original OEM plastic connector that this metal one will replace. There is also a picture of a typical situation when replacing one of the OEM plastic couplers. The tip on the screw extractor shown in the picture was cut off to fit far enough into the hole for gripping the inside of the broken connector.
My couplers directly replace the original plastic fuel line connector
(A.K.A quick connect / disconnect, dry break, coupler, coupling ) for the models & years listed here.
