Triumph Gas Fuel Line Hose Pump Metal Quick Release Disconnect Coupling Set BSPT

First off, be aware these are BPT (British Pipe Thread) not SAE or Metric thread because Triumph just didn't want to follow any worldwide standard. There is a recall for a lot of Triumph models with the faulty plastic fittings, but not all bikes.Step 1 - Break off and then remove the old fittings from the tank with a "pipe nipple extractor" you can get in a lot of places like Harbor Freight. The set will be cheap and make this so much easier. Do not try to drill it out as Triumph appears to use an adhesive sealer on the plastic fitting. You will damage the threads, and you'll need to use a tap to clear out the hole because of the adhesive. If you've already messed up and tried to drill it out, and if you don't have access to the extremely uncommon in the United States, BPT tap/die set, you can carefully and minimally use an M12 - 1.5 pitch tap and a pick to get the plastic out.Step 2 - Apply some wraps of teflon tape to the screw in fittings and start screwing the fitting into the tank by hand.Step 3 - Carefully torque the fitting down into the tank using a wrench. Avoid the wrench touching and damaging the spring clip. I had to torque more than I'd like to eliminate a leak during testing. You can always torque a little more later, but if you strip something out, you're outta luck.Step 4 - Ensure the fuel supply line is in good condition, replace it or cut it back if needed. The fuel supply line should be 3/8" like the barbed fitting and some penetrating oil/lubricant should allow you to press the fuel line on as you twist.Step 5 - Ensure the fuel return line is in good condition, replace it or cut it back if needed. The fuel return line MAY be 5/16" and you may need to CAREFULLY heat the fuel line it after ensuring there is no fuel in the return line. Between penetrating oil/lubricant and heating the line, with a lot of pressure, you should be able to stretch the line over the barbed fitting by twisting and pressing.Step 6, Clip the fittings together, add fuel, check for leaks. A small leak on the pressurized fuel supply line appeared with the engine running so I had to torque mine a little touch more after installation.Everything is working great after 50 miles of riding and I don't have to worry about another defective plastic fitting breaking loose now.

I bought these for my 2003 Triumph Tiger 955i. Was tired of the cheap plastic ones shearing off every other time I needed to remove the tank for other work. They are similar in size, but they only thread in about 1/2 of the distance in the fuel tank plate. This doesn't look right, but seems to hold fuel ok.After installation, I already have a leak on one of the male plugs. Hopefully an o-ring replacement will fix this, but not sure of the exact size. Would be nice if this came with extra o-rings, as well as the clamps needed to affix the male ends to the fuel rail hoses.One more note; the original male plugs and the fuel rail hoses are two different diameters. This set only has one size, so the lower hose is an extremely difficult fit, and not sure it will last.

Great value
