It threads into the tank fitting and mates with the Sierra 18-8079 quick-connect fuel connector to complete the tank-to-engine fuel line connection. The male connector body allows fuel to flow from the tank through the line to the engine, and it is built to the same dimensional standard as the original equipment tank fitting it replaces, so it installs and seals the same way as the OEM part. This connector fits all models within its application and is a direct cross-reference for the OEM part numbers listed below, making it a straightforward replacement when a tank connector has cracked, worn out, or is missing from a fuel line kit. Because it mates specifically with the 18-8079 fuel connector (a separate part), buyers assembling or repairing a complete fuel line should confirm they have the correct mating half for their setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sierra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18-8078\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tank Connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnector Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Male\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/4 inch NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOuter Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.508 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMates With:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sierra 18-8079\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOEM Cross Reference:\u003c\/strong\u003e 65740-95500, 99105-00193\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.07 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExterior Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Machined\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFits all models.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eReplaces (OEM)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e65740-95500, 99105-00193\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Sierra 18-8078 tank connector used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is the male 1\/4 inch NPT fitting installed at the fuel tank end of a portable outboard fuel line, and it mates with the Sierra 18-8079 fuel connector to complete the tank-to-engine connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the 18-8078 replace OEM tank connectors?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, this connector cross-references directly to OEM part numbers 65740-95500 and 99105-00193.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat thread size is the 18-8078 tank connector?\u003c\/strong\u003e It has a 1\/4 inch NPT thread with a.508 inch outer diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the 18-8078 a male or female fitting?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 18-8078 is a male connector; it mates with the female Sierra 18-8079 fuel connector.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat models does the Sierra 18-8078 tank connector fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 18-8078 fits all models within its application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the 18-8078 tank connector mate with?\u003c\/strong\u003e It mates with the Sierra 18-8079 quick-connect fuel connector; the two parts together form a complete tank-side fuel line connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the 18-8078 tank connector weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 18-8078 weighs 0.07 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat color is the 18-8078 connector?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is white with a machined exterior finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need to also buy part 18-8079?\u003c\/strong\u003e If your fuel line assembly needs both halves of the connection, yes; 18-8079 is a separate part number that mates with the 18-8078 and must be ordered separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the 18-8078 genuine Sierra or aftermarket?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is a genuine Sierra part, sold under Sierra part number 18-8078, and cross-references to OEM numbers 65740-95500 and 99105-00193.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is included when I order the 18-8078?\u003c\/strong\u003e You receive one Sierra 18-8078 male tank connector fitting; the mating 18-8079 fuel connector is sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sierra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48988432957659,"sku":"SIE-18-8078","price":12.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/SIE-18-8078_lg__72242.1558131550.500.750.jpg?v=1785188484","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/sierra-18-8078-fuel-tank-connector-male-1-4in-npt-large-inlet-for-nissan-tohatsu-outboards-replaces-suzuki-65740-95500","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
