MontGuzzi Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 I'm looking at replacing plastic fuel line disconnects on a 2004 Nero Corsa. Any suggestions from someone who has already done this? Was considering these as an option--made for 5/16" line. Would these work? https://www.beemerboneyard.com/cpcqkdiscon.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowRyter Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 When my bike had a leaky petcock, it was replaced with a generic spout (no turn off valve). At the time, I could only find OEM type replacements for $75 and didn't have one when I needed it. So since then, I just left well enough alone. I did order some cheap outboard motor type quick-disconnects from Ebay. They are about 3 inches long so there could be mounting issues if I ever get around to it. (I have a special heat resistant fuel line that I ordered here with fitted ends.) In the meantime, I've got a cork that's looks like it will fit the existing spout. The ones you linked to look the same as the ones I have in my bins. I don't recall what the line diameter is but it fits the old gas line that I replaced. Let us know how it comes out. My guess is that you'll beat me to it. I am not going to attempt it until I need to remove the tank again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinus89 Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 I have managed to order these at https://www.schellen-shop.de/ for my Aprilia Caponord. Do not forget these normally come with NBR o-rings, which does not do well with (modern partly-ethanol) fuels. They sell replacement Viton o-rings, suggest to order these and replace prior to installation. I'm considering these for my V11 as well on the next tank removal, as my fuel tap is sh*t as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbolesaz Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 The Beemerboneyard ones are metal replacements for the shitty plastic ones used on BMW bikes. The plastic ones have a nasty habit of cracking and spewing high pressure fuel all over the engine. Very common BMW problem. Had to do a rather long ride home one time hoping no one threw a cigarette butt at me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
