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. |

Another lesson from this experience. After you drain the tank of POR15 sealer and your letting it drip out the big sender and fill holes (upside down). Clean the threaded fittings and put the nuts back on loosely, or the sealer will set up on them. Tried putting on the CB fittings last night after they arrived. No go, too much sealer on them. They'll need to be tidied up with the steel nut, again.
Heading to the hose store this am looking for barbed AN/JIC fittings. |
