Quick release fuel line connecters for EFI

Post by mondo traveller »

I have been trying to find an in-line quick release fuel line coupler for a Royal Enfield, from the pump the fuel does not appear to be under great pressure, M&P advertise one but say 'not for fuel injection'. Does anyone have one fitted to a EFI bike and do you have a link and any comments?

I appreciate the word 'Quick' and Royal Enfield should not be used together !!

Many thanks guys

I've been looking for similar so I can extend the fuel line on the Triumph so I can run the bike with the tank off while doing maintenance.
Closest I can find is eBay Item number 331951383438

Just ordered a pair to try, they will take a while to get delivered, I will post results unless someone can recommend any others, thanks for your reply Peirre.

I bought one of these QR Connector for my GSA, got the version that seals both ends when disconnected and teed one half into the injection tubing on the bike to allow me to tap fuel from the bike for stoves/emergency fuel for another bike.
Has held up for 2 years so far with no leaks.
Dual seal type here

Good luck with this, the only high pressure one I found was supplied by Rally Raid for their evo tanks. I've been in touch with lots of suppliers but non guarantee their connectors with a hp system...

Alt-Rider sell this Fuel Share Kit and advertise it for the GSW.
The connector in the kit is the Acetal/Plastic version of the one I linked to above and is made by CPC.
The plastic versions got a bad rep on the oil head GS's for breaking so I opted for the metal version instead, it has the same valve parts in it as the plastic bodied one.

I thought quick fuel dump was only needed on airplanes... B)
I can imagine though just before the crash dumping all the fuel.

You can buy them from a BMW dealer. But from BMW, they're expensive. I wouldn't risk the cheap stuff on ebay. They're generally not pressure rated or tested even if they 'seem' to hold out for a while.

The BMW ones off some models are even full stainless. Very nice.

BMW don't make them, they're made by a brand called "something I can't remember". It's engraved on every BMW fuel pump coupling. They're just held on with crimped ear clips.

Don't go cheap with EFI couplings. Not worth the risk.
