RCR Fuel Pickup Help

[Sean T]

I'm looking for some help on my fuel pickup tubes. I bought the tanks inc. pickup tubes that are 3/8 NPT( http://www.tanksinc.com/index.cfm/p...uct_id=94/category_id=167/mode=prod/prd94.htm) and put in 1/2 to 3/8 NPT Fragola reducers. Unfortunately, it is about a 1/2 inch too high to fit in the sponson. I'm probably missing the obvious solution here but I wanted to seek advice from the forum on what others have done to utilize the 1/2 NPT fittings that are already welded into the RCR tanks. I saw that Rick used the stock NPT tank fittings in his build but he didn't discuss what he used as a pickup. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sean we ran ours straight up and threw a rubber grommet in the pontoon and then to the firewall. Im not sure what direction you were headed with your routing, I have done three this way I run a pump for each tank to a manifold and use check valves allowing the use of either tank with out x feeding. I don't know if that helps you......m
