That is awesome! - Can't wait to go to work (I work in Delaware, the home of Dupont.) - I'll dazzle 'em with my vast knowledge of this important topic.

Thanks again to all the posters.

Im bumping up this thread. I've searched, but this is the closest I've found.

I bought a Holley "Style" fuel regulator that has 3/8" NPT female ports.

I have to supply my own stuff to connect it to the fuel line.

Here's what I've got, so tell me what I need:

Fuel Line to Regulator (x2):
3/8 to 1/4 NPT Adapter
1/4 NPT to barbed fitting.

Fuel Regulator to Fuel Pressure Gauge
3/8 to 1/4 NPT Adapter
1/4 to 1/8 NPT adapter.
Fuel gauge has 1/8" NPT.


I hate all these adapters, but there dont seem to be any 3/8" NPT to 1/4" barb pieces to be found, or 3/8 to 1/8 npt connections either.

So on these connections, I assume I need some teflon tape or something to seal the threads, right?
Do you know of any better ways to do this aside from running hard lines?
