Graham:
Yes, the NPT tapped outlet fittings would do the job for launching the rest
of the line, but
wouldn't you still have to clamp the modified fitting to the tubular output
molding with the
spanning 1" ID fuel hose as per factory? Or do would you glue the fitting
in? No, that wouldn't
work - couldn't clean out the strainers that way. I'm missing something
here.
