2G Fuel pump bulkhead fitting??...

[Bleakley]

Briefly searched to no avail.
Friend of mine and myself are looking at putting Walbro 450’s in the tanks of our ‘95 Talons.
We’re using the stock hangers and I realize this is an easy job.

However, I’m pretty detail-oriented (anal) and STM’s bulkhead fitting is 5/16” to 6AN and by looking at the pictures it doesn’t look like there is enough meat to drill the fitting out for true 6AN or 8AN flow.

Anyone know of a similar fitting that has a 3/8” barb on the end? Ideal fitting would be: -8AN male to 3/8” barb bulkhead fitting.
However, -6AN male to 3/8” barb would work.

Hell yeah, just like that. I NEVER check eBay. Lol. Thought didn’t even occur to me.
Emailed STM, but they have yet to get back to me.

Thanks sir.

For sure!
I just googled and it was one of the first to pop up, I'm sure there's one with a better bulkhead but to spread the load and help sealing, just takes a couple min to search.

This is the exact unit my son just installed along with his WB450. Just putting choices out there!

 

[Bleakley]

That’s who I went to first.
Again though, they don’t have a unit with a 3/8” barb.
Have not heard back yet.

Is the barb on your 450 a 3/8"???
It worked perfect for our 95 TSI project, mated up with a Walbro 450 in tank. I didn't measure the barb on the fuel pump but the Fuel Injection line we used to couple the pump to the fitting was a nice tight fit.

450 outlet is 3/8”
Either that or the mm equivalent. Whichever...

Nice to know, I didn't measure ours so now it is documented. Thanks for the information!

I ordered this exact one along with a pair of -6an just because they were so cheap. The thread is too long. You can’t cut the hose barb down enough to make it feasible. Also the an male fitting end is absolute garbage.

this one is much better

I ended up using an STM fitting due to clearance.
I tried messaging STM and they did not reply back.
Someone needs to make a fitting for the 2G FWD’s with a decent ID.
The STM is a 5/16 to 6AN or 8AN. I’ve looked at and bought quite a bit of fittings. No one makes a 3/8” to 6AN or 8AN with a low profile.

So annoying.
