I successfully found adapters that will fit on our fuel tanks, just wanted to share. No need to drill tap the tank - these fittings go on the existing threads. You can go to -6 or -8 AN. They come with an internal o-ring but I added thread sealant just for extra protection.

I have seen clamp-on AN fittings too for those of us with earlier Tangerine SS fuel lines. I considered using them, but decided to just use hose clamps and keep a $20 problem from snowballing into a $100 problem in AN fittings, etc.

And after dealing with -12/-16 AN with my /6 conversion - I'm done with that crap. I stuck a stainless line (that I bought from Tangerine nearly 4 years ago) in the tunnel and bought the best rubber fuel hose (Gates Barricade) on the market. I'm running carbs and low fuel pressure anyways. |
