Petrol tank connector

[Grosbard]

Hi all!
I'm planning to replace my fuel hose with something more modern that will work with E10 fuel (I'm located in California, and non-E10 fuel is extremely hard to find here). I've got everything picked out already, and in case anyone is interested, I'm going with Earl's Vapor Guard 5/16" hose for much of it...except for using Earl's Easy Form 5/16" hardline for the long stretch that goes thru the chassis.

My question is, what connector is on the bottom of the fuel tank? I know the original was a threaded compression fitting, but I don't know the thread size or anything like that. Basically I'm wondering what I should purchase to connect to the connector on the bottom of the fuel tank. Any advice is much appreciated!! Thanks!

Hi all! Just wanted to check if anybody had any helpful info on this topic. Thanks a bunch, everyone!!

You probably didn't get a reply because nobody knows the answer to your thread question but if your selected hose is a flexi one then the threaded bung wouldn't need to be disturbed.

The banjo has a female output. So the original was a nylon-like hose compression fit into that. Since I'm replacing the nylon-like hose with E-10 compatible hose, my thought was to replace that compression fitting with a female to male adapter. Then it will be easy to clamp the new rubber hose onto the male end. So my only question is - what size and pitch should that male end be that goes into the banjo? Thanks in advance!

Awesome! Thank you both so much!! So I guess I just need a BSP to NPT adapter and I can use an 1/4 NPT connector to the rubber hose!
