You`re over thinking this.
I`ve run 1000hp plus with AN fitting on everything .
Good enough for Army and Navy, good enought for me.
24 gallons of fuel? Do you just go from fuel dock to fuel dock? lol

The AN thread (also A-N) is a particular type of fitting used to connect flexible hoses and rigid metal tubing that carry fluid. It is a US military-derived specification that dates back to World War II and stems from a joint standard agreed upon by the Army Air Corps and Navy, hence AN.

Happy New Year All!! 2025 started officially for me today. I have only purchased the Performance Design XS intake manifold. With this purchase I now know where the fuel line connects to the engine so I can place the fuel pump to keep this section of the fuel line under 12 inches long. A new question has hit my mind and I'm not sure how to address it. First with all top feed fuel tanks, and a possibility of having 4 separate spun aluminum tanks for a total capacity of 44 gallons of fuel. How do I plumb all four tanks together to feed one fuel pump. Originally I was going to have a bottom drain type plumbing connection so gravity would keep the fuel pickup point fueled, Now with only top draw fuel pickup, I'm a bit lost as to how to plumb. I also would like to know what brand fuel pump has been found to be the best?
