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? |

skline,
Sorry, I really don't want to get into making these for others, if you have a soldering skills, a drill press, and time, it's a pretty simple part to make youself. andys, I don't know the mesh count on the wire screen, it's was from a piece that I had laying around. It isn't as fine as the stock screen but it is a lot finer that "window screen". I tacked the seam about every 1/2in. and it holds well, I can post a picture of the seam tonight. If you do get a piece from McMaster be sure it is a stainless steel alloy that can be silver soldered using the correct flux. I'm using both the socketless hose and braided hose. The socketless for connecting to the SS 3/8in. lines in the tunnel and stainless braided for the rest of the car (boy! the $$ add up quick). The Aeroquip AQP socketless hose and fittings really grip and make a solid seal, the stuff works real good. If I was to do it all over again I would probably use the socketless hose throughout.
