The Fuel Hose Tee is used on select OMC, Johnson and Evinrude outboard engines to split fuel flow from the fuel pump toward the carburetors.
A cracked, loose, brittle, or leaking fuel tee can cause fuel leaks, air entering the fuel system, poor fuel delivery, hard starting, hesitation, or inconsistent engine performance.

The Fuel Hose Tee is used on select Johnson and Evinrude outboard engines as part of the fuel hose system between the fuel pump and carburetors.
OEM parts diagrams identify this component as a fuel hose tee, carburetor hose tee, or fuel pump-to-carburetor tee, depending on the specific engine application. Its job is to divide fuel flow so the fuel supplied by the pump can be routed to multiple carburetors.
Although it is a small component, a damaged fuel tee can create significant performance problems.
Fuel leaving the fuel pump must be distributed evenly through the fuel hose system to the carburetors.
The tee provides a junction point that allows one fuel hose to branch into multiple lines.
A properly sealed tee helps maintain:
If the tee develops a crack or the hose connections become loose, the fuel system may leak fuel or draw unwanted air.
Possible symptoms may include:
Because fuel-delivery problems can also be caused by the fuel pump, fuel filter, tank, primer bulb, hoses, or carburetors, the complete fuel system should be inspected when diagnosing these symptoms.
The tee may look like a simple fitting, but it sits in a critical part of the engine’s fuel-delivery system.
If the connection is not properly sealed, two problems can occur:
Fuel can leak out.
This creates a performance problem as well as a potential fire hazard.
Air can leak in.
An air leak can interrupt fuel delivery and cause the engine to run lean or starve for fuel.
On a two-stroke outboard, reliable fuel delivery is especially important because fuel flow is directly tied to engine performance and lubrication on premix applications.
It appears in fuel pump, filter, intake manifold, and carburetor hose diagrams depending on the engine model and year.
Exact fitment varies by model, year, starting system, and fuel hose configuration, so horsepower alone should not be used to confirm compatibility.
Always verify the engine model number and original OEM part number before ordering.
Replacement should be considered when:
Older plastic fuel fittings can become brittle from age, heat, vibration, and long-term fuel exposure.
If the hoses are already being replaced during restoration or engine service, it is a good opportunity to inspect the tee closely.
When replacing this tee, also inspect:
A new tee will not solve a fuel delivery problem if hoses are cracked, loose, hardened, or deteriorated.
For performance or race outboards, consistent fuel delivery becomes especially important at sustained high RPM.
A small air leak that may barely affect an engine at idle can become much more noticeable when fuel demand increases under load.
At Liquid Revolutions, we know that fuel-system problems are often caused by simple components that are easy to overlook. A cracked tee, hardened hose, or loose connection can create symptoms that look like a carburetor or ignition problem.
Replacing aged fuel fittings can be an inexpensive way to improve reliability and eliminate one potential source of fuel-delivery problems.
Always inspect and test the complete fuel system after installation and before returning the engine to service.
