    Fuel Tank Return Port - Alternative Connector?

    The little plastic stub to which the fuel return line connects seems really flimsy. Could it be replaced with something beefier that would also allow some kind of quick connect/disconnect? I'd even be happy if the quick connect was somewhere down the line. For those of us who have had to disassemble our bikes often, spilling fuel can be a pain...

    I saw one of those, in blue, on one of the European sites, but I had a vague recollection in my mind that someone on here had said something negative about fuel line quick-connects. Are they reliable?

    You have 2 of them on your scoot right now, so yes plus the return line is a zero pressure line.

    Price is about $12.50 US

    I think I am going to get some just because the tank connector is buried.

    Do you know if it, when disconnected, also stops/holds back the fuel?
