Re: What fittings do I need for fuel lines
I'm pretty sure that black fitting has pipe threads in it. It isn't a normal automotive fitting.
I'd have to go look in my stuff but the fitting going into the fuel pump looks like it is for a compression fitting that uses a nut and ferrule. Or it was used with a fuel hose that had an end on it that screwed on that fitting.
You should be able to unscrew that brass fitting from the fuel pump and match the threads on it to a fitting that will screw in it properly and have the correct end to slip a hose on it that also has the correct diameter passage in it. The less fittings you have the less chance for a leak you have.
