I removed my fuel tank for cleaning; I removed the 2 fittings at the bottom of the tank to replace the fuel screen and general cleaning. The original fuel screen was almost completely gone. I can not seprate the nuts from the copper tubes for cleaning and removal of the remaining screen end. I have soaked them in de-greaser with no luck. Please any suggestions or if you have extra copper tubes I would like to buy them. I bought extra nuts, washers, and screen from AA, but they don't stock the copper tubes. Thanks Mike

They're not copper, they're steel. Degreaser isn't penetrating oil, which you should be using. Generally speaking, after a good soaking (probably overnight) of penetrant, a couple of sharp taps with a hammer and 2 x 4, they should pop apart. The Cap'n

One other word of advice... The gaskets aren't available for those fittings, so you will probably have to make your own from gasket material.

Oh and I think I used heat to free mine up.
