Need a little help - The Hull Truth

trrooster · 11-17-2009, 02:42 PM

I have looked all over town for this fuel fitting. Does anyone know somewhere online that I could order it. The problem I keep running into is the Elbow that goes into the tank. I can find them but not with the nipple on the end of it. The tank has a pick-up hose that attaches to the nipple and nobody seems to have one much less be able to tell me where I can get one.

Thanks

Get a female elbow then screw a nipple into it. The old is probably 2 parts also.

It is 2 parts. The 3/8 nipple that is on the right was (well part of it still is) screwed into the elbow. I just cant find an elbow that has the nipple out of the bottom of it.
Another question would be, Should I replace the fitting with brass? Original was aluminum

A welding shop could probably braze a nipple to the elbow.

I can get the parts for you. The withdrawal fitting (elbow) with 22" hose is $23.00. The barb is $26.65, it has an anti siphon valve built into it. Shipping is additional.

PM if you're interested.

Also don't use brass with aluminum. It can lead to dezincification of the brass and a broken and/or leaking fitting.
