I inherited a 12 gallon steel tempo long cruise tank that had the Merc bayonet fittings attached. I have used it for three seasons now and I am very satisfied with the durability. Finnegan is correct; best fittings out there, even if they are 46 year-old technology (or more). The older (made in the USA) the better. And it feeds a 1997 Evinrude 90SPL crossflow. I do not care about cross brand fittings; I only care that I have reliable hardware.
