 |
|
| I am running 5/16 fuel line all the way on my bus. It matches the fittings on my electric fuel pump and carbs. The only thing is doesnt match is the outlet on the tank. Is there someone who makes this outlet in 5/16? I tried searching but cant find it. Is it ok to just snug the 5/16 fuel line tight over the stock outlet? |

Can you take some pics of your installed pump etc? I’m just now getting the parts to convert over and figuring how to mount the filter and pump and route fuel lines.

This will fit in a late split bus tank?
What fuel screen in the tank fits that outlet?

I installed it with the stock screen, can't remember if I used the stock washer or not. Pics in my gallery.
