Is it the same size as the ones on the cylinder head?
Those are 1/8" NPT.
I've never had the one out of the back of the fuel filter housing to know for sure.

It's not NPT, it's like -4 AN or something like that. Dieselsite has the adapter to 1/8" NPT for $6.

I bought mine at a hardware store for something like $2.00. I just took the stock plug out and went to the store to find comparable threads. But, it is not NPT. Like FD said, it's a straight thread similar to 4 A/N. I think it's a 1/4" or 3/8" flare fitting. Find the adapter to go to 1/8" NPT. The only thing I had to do was grind off the flared part to make it flat. You can also pick up a new o-ring while you're there if the stock one can't be re-used.
