Fuel line adapters?

I was watching some random YouTube outboard-in-a-barrel video and I noticed what looked like a short adapter from one type of fuel line fitting to another.
Have these ever been made or is it something you cobble up yourself to save from purchasing several fuel lines?

Your post is meaningless without context.

There are thousands of adapters that can be used in a fuel system.

What are you trying to adapt from / to

I thought I was succinct.
Portable tank, primer bulb, hose with a fitting on the end.
Adapters from that fitting to anything else I need now or in the future.

I feel the Chrysler/Force fitting is the handiest for the end of the portable tank fuel line but my preferences don't matter if someone's already making these. I searched the Moeller site & Amazon but didn't see any such adapters.

Haven't seen a mass marketed on and just guessing the adapter was home made. There would be so many different ones to cover most OB's

3" piece of hose, Male engine fitting on one end, female gas tank fitting on the other, 2 hose clamps.

I even have a few - merc to rude and visa versa.

Get a generic bulb hose (no fittings), and the fittings you want for the motor and tank, add some hose clamps and there you go.

This might work.
Thanks but the last thing I want is to introduce yet another unique connector.
I have a Gamefisher, Eska and a Force that all use the old Chrysler connector and 1 Johnson. Probably adding another (Evinrude) soon.
Have a Johnson, Yamaha and another Gamefisher at my cottage.
I feel like I need a 'system'.
Looks like I'll make my own short 'pigtail adapters'.

switch the connectors on the motors so they are all common.
