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? |

I wanted to keep the thread alive since I'm starting to configure my V8 fuel delivery system.
After giving some thought to the AN/tank fitting, I too am concerned about not having a raised tube and screen filter in the tank. Any small fragment will potentially settle to the bottom where the opening in the AN fitting is only 3/8" or so. A raised tube by itself I think would be of benefit, but I would like to add a screen as well. So, where to buy one? I would consider adapting the VW screen, but the tube is a bit small in diameter for a V8 EFI system (3/8" would be better). I will likely add a coarse filter ahead of the EFI pump anyway, but that will be of no help should the tank get clogged. Any ideas? Thanks, Andys PS: Phoenix-NM, how did your AN install work out? Any leaks? |
