Greetings folks, I just picked up a couple of these for a project. Does anyone have any idea what male fitting fits the quick connector?

The fuel feed hose kit is NSN 4520-01-466-0420 or the feed hose itself is 4520-01-466-5771. These have the male quick disconnect at the end. No availability found through google web search of either part. Anyone have a parts Hunter SHA?

The following Grainger part numbers should be the correct fittings.

Male: 1/4"-18 Brass Coupler Body, 1/4" body; Item# 31A880; Mfr# BH2-61; Parker
Female: 1/4"-18 Brass Coupler Body, 1/4" body; Item# 31A846; Mfr# BH2-60 Parker

Ah, thanks Sir. Truth is, I don't have them in hand yet. I surely appreciate your efforts.

Understood Brian. Even if they don't fit at least you gave me an option to swap out to!

I believe the mbu fuel feed hose style connector plugs into it. I will see if I have a pic to post. Its like an air fitting like an impact gun would have.

I can either try to use what's there or switch it out. Just need something fuel rated. The CUCV with a 20 gallon tank means stops every 180-200 miles. I've mounted 2 scepter cans in the SECM body and rigged a pump to move fuel to the main tank while on the run. Jumps me up to around 275 miles between stops.

That's why you need to add the right side fuel tank. Dual tanks are very nice in a CUCV !

My older SECM body precludes that option. Actually, it had a right side tank that I had to remove when I switched bodies. The guy I swapped with now has dual tanks. The other option I failed to mention and the reason I want a quick coupler is my 100 gallon transfer tank can also slide in the side door and be plugged in for transfer duties. I'm a big fan of dual tanks, just can't with this truck. A 3rd benefit is doing all my fill duties from the drivers side of the truck.

Following up on this. I received my gravity feed adapters today, thanks Will. The number on the quick connector was B20-5BP. A quick search found them to be a single seal type and my air tool nipples fit perfectly. I would rather have the ones that double seal but for now I will use them as is. The nitrile seal is rated good for use with diesel fuel.

I know this is an old thread but those are used with the hunter stove like this one.

I picked up 3 stoves. One works, one adapter leaks and the third was missing.

How did they work out for your project? Do you have any you would like to part with?
