| Re: Fuel tank Fittings
It's amazing what a rounded education you get when you start building one of these cars. I have learned more about Fittings than I ever wanted to know. Anyway the tank is plumbed with BSPT fittings that are not compatable with the NPT fittings that are standard in the states.
I have been unable to find the 1/8 x 3/8 or 5/16 BSPT that I need to plumb the tanks and that includes McMaster Carr. The alternatives seem to be either tap the existing fittings to NPT or find BSPT to NPT adapters. I would perfer not to mess with the tank itself, so I need adapters.
My research has pointed me to the AUTOZONE parts stores here in the states. It seems that the Honda crowd when turbocharging there car have to mount a line into the block and the block is 1/8 BSPT. The AUTOZONE carries an 1/8 BSPT to 1/8 NPT adapter which should work for me. I have not seen this part yet but intend to find a AUTOZONE store today.
