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? |

Update - I installed Tangerine Racing SS fuel lines today, they fit perfect, took about 20 minutes to put them both in (the engine is out). It's real nice when after-market parts work this well. Where did you get the grommets? Any tips on installation? My tub is a '71 so it has separate holes for each line in the front. The holes are slightly oblong but I just used a grommet that was for a 1" hole and a 1/16" panel. For the rear (you are going to think I'm nuts) I machines a mold out of aluminum to fit the firewall openings and for the 3/8" fuel lines. I used Devcon Flexane 80 to make the grommets. I realy don't have any tips or tricks, they just slid in but like I said, the engine is out so having room to move around under the car was not a problem. Paul |
