I purchased my oil tank from GPR today. The Vellios comes with 3/4 NPT sized connections. I need to get my engine oil cooler (off a 3.0L SC) converted by Rich and he wants to know what size fitting to weld on. Am I correct to go with 12 AN? I've heard/read some use 16 AN?
Also, is there a list of what fittings and lengths of hoses are needed for all oil plumbing? Basic plumbing, no external oil cooler. |

On my six I used -16AN and like above added a " tee " for easy draining. Just unscrew the cap and let the oil drain. I used -12AN for all other oil lines to the front oil cooler and return lines to the engine/tank.
