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? |

You may want to use a sealant on the threads. I would use POR 15. I sealed 1/8" holes in the Healey gas tank with the stuff. Gas won't touch it and if you ever used the stuff and tried to put the lid back on the can and reuse it later you know how well it bonds metal to metal...
