Attwood Marine Fuel Tank & Hose Fittings, Chrome-Plated Brass

Overview

This Attwood Marine fuel tank and hose fitting range is for setting up or servicing quick-connect fuel line connections on Chrysler and small-bore Suzuki outboard fuel systems. The range includes a tank-side male fitting with a 1/4" NPT thread and hose-side female fittings with 3/8" barbs, giving boat owners and technicians the matching parts needed to connect fuel tanks and fuel lines in the correct application.

These fittings are built from chrome-plated brass and are used with leaded, unleaded, ethanol-blended, and alcohol-blended fuels. The Suzuki options apply to under-75HP small-bore applications, while the Chrysler hose fitting supports the engine end of the fuel line for Chrysler outboards.

Key features

• Application-specific fuel fittings for Chrysler and Suzuki outboard fuel systems.
• Tank-side option uses a 1/4" NPT thread for connection to the fuel tank.
• Hose-side options use a 3/8" barb for fuel hose installation.
• Chrome-plated brass construction supports use in marine fuel system service.
• Suzuki small-bore option is intended for engines under 75HP.
• Suitable for leaded, unleaded, ethanol-blended, and alcohol-blended fuels.

Variants

This product range is offered in multiple fitting configurations for Chrysler and Suzuki fuel systems.

The variants differ by engine application, fitting type, and connection style. The tank male fitting mates with the compatible hose female fittings in this range, while the hose fittings provide the 3/8" barb connection used at the fuel hose.

• 14509-6: Chrysler and Suzuki under-75HP small-bore tank male fitting with 1/4" NPT thread. This option is the tank-side fitting for a threaded fuel tank connection.
• 8884-6: Chrysler hose female fitting with 3/8" barb. This option connects the fuel hose to the Chrysler engine-side fuel connection.
• 88FTS014-6: Suzuki under-75HP small-bore hose female fitting with 3/8" barb. This option is used on Suzuki small-bore fuel hose connections where a 3/8" hose barb is required.

Installation and setup

Before installation, match the engine brand and bore application to the fitting type. The tank fitting uses a threaded 1/4" NPT connection, while the hose fittings use a 3/8" barb, so the fuel tank port, connector style, and hose inside diameter should all be checked before replacing or assembling the fuel line.

Use fuel-compatible thread sealant on threaded connections and follow normal marine fuel system practices for hose clamping, leak checks, and routing. After installation, prime the fuel line and inspect the tank connection, hose barb, and engine connection for any sign of seepage before running the engine.

Use cases on board

These fittings are a practical match for small outboard boats, tenders, fishing skiffs, and portable fuel tank setups that use Chrysler or compatible Suzuki under-75HP small-bore fuel connections. They are also useful when replacing worn fuel connectors during routine fuel line service, especially where a loose or mismatched fitting can cause hard starting, air leaks, or fuel seepage.
