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? |

Andys,
I haven't put the tank in the car yet but while in the many stages of cleaning I had npt plugs installed. The tank has set overnight with many different "cleaning solutions" in it several times without a drop coming out. I feel confident that there will be no leaking problems. I too have been thinking about the sock filter in the tank. I'm going to try the brass tube idea from the ealier post and figure out a way to attach the stock filter screen to it. Additional note about cleaning - I used several methods. 1st Washing soda/water electrolysis method 2nd quick wash with muritic acid (hardware store variety) 3rd Overnight soak with weak solution of phosphoric acid 4th KBS tank cleaning/coating kit The tank cleaned up nicely.
