Quick Disconnect fittings for fuel line

Has anyone fitted quick-disconnect couplings to their fuel line? If yes, I'd be interested to know which ones you used. Seems like a useful addition for those of us whipping the tank off on a regular basis!

We use them on all our race bikes. Most are simple and stop flow in one side, but we have a couple of bikes with crossover tubes and they use the type that stops flow in both sides.

For a bike that has the tank off regularly, they are a must.

I think they all come from the same manufacturer

I thought that mcmaster Carr also sell them but I couldn't find them this morning.
