Does anyone know the actual thread coming out of a 1975 Bus? I really do need to know the actual size and not a guess.
Fuel tank outlet thread size needed?

Are we talking on the nozzle sticking out of the fuel tank?
My '74 is sheer. No thread.
Anyway, if no-one knows, get a thread gauge. I think you can get them at automotive stores. I got mine with a cheap tap & die set I bought at the warehouse. Don't have much faith in that one though.

If at first you don't succeed. Build, build again.

The barb that the hose goes on to would have a thread on the other end to go into the tank I assume?
Or is it just a brazed pipe outlet?

If I remember correctly it's a threaded brass fitting with a big brass locknut going into the tank.
The last time I looked at it, there was fuel pouring out on to me. Was sick for days after that, so my memory isn't 100% on the matter.
Gregory's was less than helpful. Just checked it
So what's up? broken or missing fitting?
