Moeller Marine Female Fuel Line Connector, Mercury 3/8 Inch, Nylon - 033485-10

The Moeller Marine 033485-10 is a female fuel line connector built to the Mercury 3/8 inch fitting pattern, molded from nylon for corrosion resistance in the marine fuel system environment. It is the female half of a quick-connect fuel fitting, designed to join with the matching male connector on a fuel line, portable tank, or engine fuel inlet that uses the Mercury-style 3/8 inch connector configuration. Nylon construction resists the swelling and cracking that can affect rubber or lower-grade plastic fittings when exposed to gasoline, ethanol-blended fuels, and repeated connect/disconnect cycles.

This connector is commonly used when building, repairing, or replacing a boat's fuel line assembly, letting an outboard or fuel tank be connected and disconnected without tools. Its compact, lightweight design (0.12 pounds) makes it easy to keep as a spare part on board or in a maintenance kit.
