[TR] TR3 Gas Tank Discharge Fitting

[kinderlehrer at comcast.net]

Permatex reacts to the gasoline and forms these really nice little plugs that
have a habit of clogging fuel lines. I'm sure you can guess how I know that.
I've had some luck finding adapters, connectors, and the such at the plumbing
supply stores, but I don't remember if it was for this application or not.

Subject: [TR] TR3 Gas Tank Discharge Fitting

B B  B  My fuel line exiting the gas tank on my TR3 appears to be leaking
slightly. I have it in as tight as I can get it. I am broke right now and too
cheap to buy a new one from the big 3. I suppose that I can try to find a
metal tube and ferrule from NAPA or somewhere to save a few bucks.
B B  B  I was wondering if I could smear the ferrule with non-hardening
Permatex or something to help seal it. I was also wondering if the existing
fitting could be replaced with a brass fitting that takes it straight to a
rubber hose fitting.
B B  B  Anyone else been here before?
