Default Breakaway Fuel Connector?

Does any one know of the proper name or even a part number for a break away fuel connector /connection that seals the fuel when disconnected? I'm looking for something in the 6mm or slightly bigger hose size range. This is for a new Jet TOY so-to-speak. I need to be able to pull the fuel supply (tank) away from a fitting and not have either end leak.

Thanks
Bob

PS when i say pull away, I mean like in an emergency I can just yank it with a quick snap...

Thanks Love2fly. Does the connection breakaway with no hands on the connector? I'm designing a new exhibition craft and the fuel tank, batteries and some electronics will be inside an eject-able pod on my leg. The wires and fuel supply connections need to breakaway if I fall off the craft I will be standing on.

Hint: Cross this picture with a scene from back to the future
