[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 438559, member: 15636"] All my tanks are rigged that way too, as I have more OMC tanks and motors than Mercs. In fact, my boatclub (20+ skiffs) sets up all of our tanks like this, so in an emergency we can grab any tank out of any boat.

Such fuel connections with the smaller diameter ret-pin are usually marked as QuickSilver (proprietary Merc label or brand) but is the same as a Yamaha fitting. Just went through this whilst setting up yet another tank ... [/QUOTE]
