Working on replumbing my new fuel pump. So I decided to loosen the nuts that cinch down the fuel tank output pipes. Big one came off without a hitch. The return line, that's another story. The aluminum nut totally stripped out. Steel bung threads are embedded with aluminum.
Has anyone bought the M18 * 1.0 die or thread restorer and cleaned those threads before? Kind of an odd sized thread. Hate to give up on this tank. |

I'm buying 2 pair of these to get something with new aluminum threads.

With the pump in the trunk I'll drain the tank with the firewall to engine fuel filter hose. For those that need hoses and fittings. I use A1 Coupling on Tualatin Sherwood Rd.It's a commercial place, but great service even for the dinky do things I buy. Last time I was looking to replenish my supply of Oetiker clamps and they took back into the warehouse to take my pick of styles. |

I am thinking about doing the same thing in the Spring when I pull my tank in the '74. I will watch your progress - thanks! |
