I was working on getting my fuel tank, fuel pump, and lines intalled today and I have been trying to figure out how to adapt the tank fittings to AN. After getting the tank on the bench and removing the stock fittings and tubes it looked like a 1/4npt pipe thread fitting might fit in the opening of the stock fitting. I dug out my taps and low and behold the 1/4npt tap threaded the hole in the stock fitting quite nicely. Could it realy be this easy? What am I missing? Anyone else done it this way? |

Yes, the inside of the tank fitting was threaded with a 1/4npt tap. If an elevated pickup tube was wanted you could use a peice of brass tubing and a steel AN fitting and solder them together. My self I don't thik I will use an elevated pickup, just start out with a good clean tank and use a filter before the fuel pump and it should be good to go.
Next step is to figure out where to mount the pre filter, the pump, and where to cut holes for the -6 hose. Attached thumbnail(s) |
