question about running ss fuel feed line from tank

[UncleBens]

I want to upgrade my fuel feed line from the tank to the fuel rail to -6 . I found this article about doing it http://www.stevetek.com/R-FuelSys.html but I have one question.

In the picture above, how does the aftermarket -6 flared fitting go onto the stock metric threaded fuel line coming off the tank lid? it seems like those fittings wouldn't go on together.

well i did this myself a few weeks ago and im going to say this becareful when taking the stock line of the pump. mine was all rusty and it cracked i ended up drilling it out and put a bulk head in where the line came out and then it fit with no issue. if i were you i would upgrade the pump while your there to and i would also order a gasket for the tank at the same time

I've talked to the 2 people that have done this already (11sec GSX and hopwoodp) and they're very helpful. Check out post #11 in that thread for a good explanation as to how to deal with the fuel pump housing.

There is a metric fitting that does fit the stock out from the fuel tank into a AN fitting. Thats what I used and for the life of me I cannot remember were I got it from. Maybe I can figure out it out and get back to you.
