A: This female connector fits most Mercury, Mariner, and Force 2-stroke outboards in the 4-40 HP range that use a clip-on style quick disconnect at the tank. The surest way to confirm is to match your old part's number to one of the cross-reference numbers (22-13563Q7, 13563A7, 13563T7) and verify your fuel line has a 5/16" (8mm) inside diameter.
