Triumph Daytona 600 2004 Fuel Pump Connectors (fuel line connectors) problem

First off there should have been a recall for this problem or part of it http://www.dft.gov.uk/vosa/apps/recalls/searches/search.asp I had the plastic elbows on my Tiger replaced a couple of years ago at a dealer due to recall but stangely they didnt change the female fitting.
Have a gander in TigerTriple or TriumphRAT as there is loads of info on this issue and the parts may be the same as what you require

edit to add - just checked on Worldoftriumph and they use the same part numbers..

edit again to add....http://www.tom-parker.co.uk/product...products_groups=8150&products_subgroups=8150A try these for any bits that Triumph should have fixed under the recall...

 

Hey slick-rick, I recognise that problem: I had the same issue about 1,5 year ago (with my Sprint ST 955i 2004). I remember that I 'googled around' to find a solution for the broken connector, doing so I found a lot of info about a Triumph recall back in 2003-2004 for all the Sprint, Tiger & Daytona's 955i models with the same fuel connectors. My Triumph dealer changed the broken (genuine Triumph) 'plastic elbows' for some new (genuine) Triumph connectors (same plastic again!). After some days, I discovered a better solution on the web: The 520 Chain Cafe: replacing Triumph plastic fuel fittings
If I ever get that same problem (hopefully NOT) with my Daytona 955i (2002), at least I know what kind of connectors I should look for! Greetz, Paulie:wink:

 

Found this thread very helpful I had an issue with the fuel cap drain being blocked so lifted the tank removed and unblocked the nipple just putting the tank back down and SNAP the red clip went, I ordered a new one from triumph £33.50 posted ouch!!!! But then found this thread with the metal ones so going to order those I think? Here's a few pics of the part before and after I removed it it wasn't the easiest think to remove but got there in the end!!

 

Hi

I've just done the exact same thing to my Daytona 600 - did you use any special techniques to remove it?

Follow the link in Paulie's post or use a heated screwdriver, then depending if your UK or States follow the links to order metal fittings, resist the urge to replace with plastic items....

 

I just used some very small screwdrivers and a thin blade trying to avoid the threads best I could the metal replacement went in fine though heres an eBay link to the one I bought but you can get them a bit cheaper but I went for the better looking quality one which when arrived was very sturdy and well made! Hope this helps!!

Hi

Thanks for that, should be reading instead of skimming.

Hi

All fixed now - scraped out plastic connectors, put in new metal ones, replaced the O rings on the fuel line plugs, and have nice new shiny connectors. Took some time, but definitely worth it.

Cheers

Hi. It has happened to my Tiger 955i. Plastic has snapped and fuel everywhere! Does any one know who supplies metal fuel connectors in the UK? Thanks.
