IF you are familiar with small gas engines and can locate the fuel pump and there is a reasonable enough hose after the fuel pump to splice in the tee, go for it. The outlet of the tee must have a good brass shutoff.

• Brass shutoff
• 6 hose clamps
• Fuel hose (you can you clear vinyl hose, AFTER the shutoff
