Default Is this fitting ok for dual walbros?

Found a 1/4" barbed t-fitting at the depot the other night. It looks like it will have plenty of flow? This is going in a 2000 plastic tank, and I cant find a "Y" fitting anywhere that is small enough. So I am just wondering if this looks like it will work?

i don't like it, but it will work provided the hoses stay on it.

Looks like a Pex fitting for plumbing. The box stores sell a better one for under 10 bucks. Look in MM sticky for what it looks like.

I've tried finding one like the one in MM's writeup, but to no avail. And what the hell is the box store?

Home Depot, Lowe's even Harbor Freight has them. Its a 3-way pneumatic tee that you plug one hole off.

I looked for the one MM used also when I did mine... No place had such a thing.
I checked, Home Depot, true value, ace hardware, a local farm and fleet store....nothing.

I ended up with this......3/8 street tee and street elbow

If you have an Ace Hardware near, go into their brass fittings department and see if the following will do for you:
5/16 barb 90 degree 1/4 MPT fitting (2 required) – 47087
1/4 NPT female T fitting – 42049
1/4 MPT to 3/8 compression fitting – 43020 (to connect to metal fuel outlet)
