poortecher Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 So, my plan to convert my stock tank over to 1/2" lines to feed my V8 has reached a small hurdle. My plan was to copy another member's idea, outlined here. (Look at the last post) http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=109424&highlight=1%2F2+inch+tank I found a -8 AN fitting that is made to braze on a 1/2" tube to one side, and I thought that I would use this. But I'm not sure if the fitting is a steel one, which I would need to weld it to the tank. Does anyone even make a steel AN fitting? All of the ones I see are aluminum. This is the fitting I was planning on using- http://www.hrpworld.com/index.cfm?form_prod_id=500,24,363_3145&action=product Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pop N Wood Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 If you want steel Home Depot sells them. They call them flare nut fittings or JIC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speeder Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Here's what Joe Moyer of Moyer's Fuel Tank Renu http://www.gas-tank.com/ did for me. I recommend Joe with no reservations to anyone needing this kind of work. Cost was 450.00 including a complete reconditioning of the tank. This 280Z tank has an internal surge tank of about 1/2 gallon capacity whose outlets are at the bottom of a sump. Fuel is returned to the surge tank from the two side fittings. Two small holes in the internal sides of the surge tank feed gas into it. Joe made the square surge tank, them cut a square hole in the bottom of the fuel tank to insert and weld it in. The fuel tank was mistakenly made with the sump facing the front - I sent it back for a redo and Joe had the brilliant idea to make me some internal tubes coming of the feed fittings that extend to pick up fuel from the back of the sump. This lets me keep the front feeds which I prefer. The tank fittings are 1/2" pipe into which any -AN fitting can be installed. I currently have -10 feeds and -6 returns. This tank will feed my twin turbo Buick's two sets of 85-pound staged injectors via two Aeromotive 11104 pumps. It will be replaced eventually with two fuel cells. Dunno when, however.
