Fuel line to fuel tank connection??

I have a '51 f3 and I'm missing the fitting that screws into the bottom of the stock gas tank that the fuel line attaches to.

What type of fitting is this and where can I buy one? I'm not seeing anything in LMC...haven't checked the other suppliers yet.

Thanks!

It's an angle needle valve. As far as I know, no one sells them. You can accomplish the same thing with a plain elbow and an in-line valve, but make real sure it is rated for modern fuels.

What Ross said...

you can probably go to NAPA or any auto parts store and find the brass fittings that will work... two separate fittings a 90 ° ell and a 1/4 turn valve with the proper adapter for the fuel line...

I bought the brass fittings at NAPA when I had a tank redone.

Here's the set up that I did.
