I did a quick search and came up empty. Has anyone tried these? I’m wondering if they will fit our fuel tanks.

You can tap the inside of the fuel tank fitting to 1/4 pipe thread. You do loose the sock but I would rather have an external filter to trap the dirt and stuff outside of the tank.
Use a 1/4 male pipe x -6 AN. You could probably install a riser if you could get inside of the tank. The opening is too big for my hands but had my 9 year old grandson reach in to fish out a washer I dropped in one. |

That was gonna be my next question - how much does the sock and riser really matter if you have good external filters? In my current setup, I have a large NASCAR type fuel filter that sits near my tank with about a foot of -AN line that goes to a -AN to barb adapter to the tank. I’m just looking for easy ways to clean up the look and reduce places where it could leak. |
