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.

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.

That's funny, I just installed mine today, now all my fuel lines are -6 AN

Jeff,

Do you have Chris' (Tangerine Racing) stainless steel lines? If so how did you transition to stainless?

I do have SS tunnel lines, I had McMark weld AN fitting on my SS lines.
I believe Chris sells SS lines with AN fittings on them.

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.

Yeah AN fittings and hose can add up in cost. 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.
