Uh oh. Fuel tank fitting issues

Post by John »

Im in a bit of strife (I think)
As I posted elsewhere I had a tank made for the EK.
They used the thread for the fuel line to bolt into the tank out of the old tank. (Just cut out a square piece and welded into the new tank)
I went to bolt the fuel line to the tank and it doesnt fit. I think I remember a reducing bush from the fuel line to the tank itself but I'm not sure. The tank builder said if it had one he's lost it.

Im not even sure of the thread sizes I need to get another bush.

Any ideas? Thread sizes? Beer? :( :( :(
Not all chemicals are bad. Without chemicals such as hydrogen and
oxygen, for example, there would be no way to make water, a vital
ingredient in beer
