[ST] Fuel Fitting Replacement

["Rod Brown" <rodneybrown@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

After ordering a kit from Great Bay and using a lot of words that should be
removed from the King's English while doing the install,  I thought I would
just put this information out for those who may be interested.  First, my
plastic female connector disintegrated and had to be removed using dremel,
soldering iron and fowl language.  I thought everyone knew not to use
permanent loctite on plastic threads, silly me.  Second, my other female
connector came in the kit with 3/8" barbs and the line from the tank is
1/4".   Don't bother to put the 1/4" line on the 3/8" barb if you should
happen to get the wrong part like I did.  It will split the hose, more fowl
language.  Fowl or foul ????  Wow, been a long day.  Great Bay is sending
the right part.  After doing a bit of research on BSPT versus NPT and
checking out my dad's Machinist Handbook,  that BSPT female couple is NOT
supposed to go all the way in.  It is doing what a tapered pipe thread is
supposed to do.  Just don't forget the red loctite.  Mine went in about a
quarter inch.
