I successfully found adapters that will fit on our fuel tanks, just wanted to share. No need to drill tap the tank - these fittings go on the existing threads. You can go to -6 or -8 AN. They come with an internal o-ring but I added thread sealant just for extra protection.
http://www.cbperformance.com/ProductDetail...roductCode=3288 http://www.cbperformance.com/ProductDetail...roductCode=3289 I plugged one with a cap and the other with a 90 degree AN to hose barb fitting if you don't want to use AN hose.  |

I bought a pair of these too. -8 & -6 (supply & return) I'm happy there is a nice solution to rubber hoses on the tank. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Jeff Yes - Chris will sell weld AN fittings for $26 each - and shows them in the engine compartment ends. Did you get the AN fittings through the rubber stock grommet at the forward firewall or do something else? Thanks - hope to see you at RRC. |

I have seen clamp-on AN fittings too for those of us with earlier Tangerine SS fuel lines. I considered using them, but decided to just use hose clamps and keep a $20 problem from snowballing into a $100 problem in AN fittings, etc.

And after dealing with -12/-16 AN with my /6 conversion - I'm done with that crap. I stuck a stainless line (that I bought from Tangerine nearly 4 years ago) in the tunnel and bought the best rubber fuel hose (Gates Barricade) on the market. I'm running carbs and low fuel pressure anyways. |

You can get AN tube adapters for $15 to fit 5/16, 3/8 & 1/2 hard line. I'm running them in my car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
