1975 Mercury 20 hp - fuel line query

[Bronteboxer]

I tried the fuel line connector I have today and it's leaking from the where it's plugged into the engine unit. I am using it at the moment on a rig - gravity fed from a bottle - to run up the motor in a tub.

I need to buy a new complete fuel feed line, connectors, piping, primer bulb & tank.

Is the line to engine femal connector a standard unit or do I need to specify a size to fit?

Whilst I would like a period tank and wouldn't mine restoring a good unit (does anybody have one to sell?!) I think practicality will determine the use of a modern unit. Can anybody please advise where the best place is to buy a decent quality whole set as above. I don't want to buy duff stuff on this and want to make sure I get this right.

Your advice and experience would most welcome.

Fuel line connector is the standard bayonet fitting that Mercury used for decades from the 50's. Get a quality fuel line - Quicksilver would be my recommendation & the same make bayonet fitting. You can't in theory buy just the O ring but I have managed to find them elsewhere in the past.

Not sure about replacement tanks - never used one myself but there are dozens out there. I probably have a decent original tin one that I could sell.PM me if interested.
