Description
Overview:
The Straight Threaded Fuel Tank Connector 1/4" Tail is a compact, hard‐wearing fitting for linking a small engine fuel tank to its fuel line. Made from corrosion‐resistant machined brass, it delivers a stable, leak‐tight path for petrol or two‐stroke mix in demanding environments. One end has a 1/8" UNF male thread (approx. 3.18 mm) to seat securely in the tank grommet or threaded boss; the other is a 1/4" hose tail (6.35 mm) for standard small‐engine fuel pipe. Its straight format keeps flow efficient and installation simple in tight spaces. Common on construction and garden machinery, it is particularly suited to Wacker rammer fuel tanks. Supplied to MPN 780 157 for consistent fit and performance in repairs, servicing, and builds.
Key Features:
- Straight-through design for minimal restriction and reliable fuel delivery
- 1/8" UNF male thread (approx. 3.18 mm) for secure tank or grommet fit
- 1/4" hose tail (6.35 mm) matches common small‐engine fuel pipe sizes
- Brass construction resists corrosion from petrol and moisture
- Precision-machined surfaces for a tight, leak-resistant connection
- Compact body helps routing in confined engine bays
- Durable under vibration typical of rammers, compactors, and mowers
- Simple to fit with standard hand tools; use with a suitable fuel‐safe clamp
Typical Applications:
Used to connect small engine fuel tanks to fuel hoses on rammers, plate compactors, generators, water pumps, lawn mowers, tillers, and similar equipment. Ideal for Wacker rammer fuel tanks and general service work where a 1/8" UNF tank port and 1/4" (6.35 mm) fuel line are specified. Suitable for routine maintenance, hose upgrades, or replacing worn or leaking fittings.
