Puma Fuel Line Connectors

Ok, Just to let people know

There is no O ring in the way, i found a similar connector as provided in the kit online about $10 which is on the way, and I did buy a brass connector from the local Marine shop for $5.

I did contact Diesel Care and they said that some of the kits had a short fitting and that the long fitting is required, which i assume is where the locking rim is on the connector. They are sending me one in the mail, so when it turns up I will try it and post back the results.

Thanks

Richard

Just to let anyone know who get one of the secondary filter kits from Diesel Care, the kit they provided had the wrong connector in it and no amount of force would have made it fit. They were very quick to respond to fix the issue as they replied to my email first thing the next business day and had the replacement part posted out to me within 4 days.

just in case anyone else ends up with this issue, the top one in this picture is the new one and the locking ring is just slightly forward of the ring on the old one. I tested the new one, and it click and locks in without any force, and is easily removed now the connector is cleaned.

Good outcome and it looks like the male part is bigger in diameter as well - Would it be 12mm by any chance?

Sorry Rob,

I didn't measure it before I fitted it, both seem to fit into the female connector which is probably just the rubber o ring. I just couldn't get it to lock as the locking ring is the width of the ring further back.

I ordered a new male/female connector from fleabay so I will see if they are the same when they show up and can measure it for you if they are.
