. Metals will only react in the presence of water, and the brass being the less noble of the two will go first, but I wouldn't worry about it.

Anyone gone back into there tanks to see if there is any reaction between the brass compression fittings and the stainless steel pipe. ?? I have read that these two metals will react with each other.

The type of connections that I used were compression fittings, no sealant required.

Also, please let me remind all who do this, that there needs to be some sort of filtration between the tank and the pump.
There is a screen on the inside of the fuel pump inlet that will get clogged within weeks if you do not do this.

The ones I used were AN fittings that crimp onto the tubes so no sealant required here either.
