| Fuel Tank Line Source?
Anybody have a source for the fuel tank line that goes from the tank to the outside tubing. I see SOR lists it all as discontinued. My 1971 has the flexible line with threaded fittings so no hose clamps.
I have not tried any other fitting on the tank.

| If you are talking about the fuel line that exits your tank at the side then through the floor; it's a british thread (whitworth), it's the same thread as the carb fittings. Do a fuel line search here you should find a few posts on it.
Many have retro fitted a peice of fuel line and installed a hardline into that reverse flare then used a peice of soft fuel line. I myself wanted a proper fitting and called on Mark at Marks Offroad.
If I continue to see folks looking for this peice I may stock up on these fittings and have the lines made up locally

| I'll stop by the hydualic shop today or call, I'll need to run down my tank and pull the fitting, that won't happen for a week minimum. I tore down a knuckle and am waiting for parts. Other wise I can burn up a tank of dino in a few hours!!!! 
Do you all want a line to go from the tank to the hard fuel line on the truck? Or one that goes to the fuel pump (soft line the whole way). I would need a measurement dependent apon how you will run your line.

There is no gromet in the hole where the line goes through the floor in my 40 and the fiber hose is getting shredded. I would like something as similar as the original.

| Also Check with Cool Cruisers of Texas. They are remaking some of the gas tank and filler parts. For what years I am not sure. | |

| I have the threaded fittings to run standard 5/16ths fuel line from tank to filter, pump, carb etc in stock. But if you'd rather reinvent the wheel............

| I believe I tried here in the past. I know I looked for a twin 90 degree fitting and had no success.
