[ATTACH=CONFIG]541150[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]541151[/ATTACH] I recently replaced my pick-up with a stainless tube with an I.D. of .48 which is just about the same as the I.D. of -10 line. When I hear people talk about 3/8" or 1/2" fuel line I often wonder if they are talking about I.D. or O.D. I always thought -10 line was 5/8" I.D. but everything I have purchased for my set-up in a -10 size measures approx. .48" I.D.

The fitting pictured above is a 3/8 npt to a -10 male. It is a stainless fitting. I machined out the I.D. on the 3/8 npt side to match the -10 side. Then tig welded the .48 I.D. tube onto it. Screws right in with no modifications to the tank. It is pictured next to my original pick-up for comparisons sake. I got the idea from some of Eddie Young's posts on here.

Rubber line comes in many different OD's. MArine is typically a lot larger OD for the same ID. Yeh, -10 typically is close to 1/2" ID. |

I thought I red somewhere that the AN numbers roughly correspond to 1/16 inch - i.e., -6 is 6/16 or 0.375, -8 is 0.500, #10 is 0.625, etc. |

Here are the sizes for the through hole orifices of AN fittings. This is not the "ID" of the AN hose, but the "flare" of an AN fitting. Basically, the hole in the fitting.
-03=.12 -04=.17 -05=.23 -06=.30 -08=.39 -10=.48 -12=.61 -16=.84 -20=1.08 -24=1.31 |

Bud, rip the old one off. Get the drill out and drill the rest of it out. If the old tube falls in the tank no big deal. Tap the remainder of the bung to the new size pickup and call it a day. It will drill like butter. It's aluminum...

Better use a air drill and not a cordless or electric.

Hadley, that is pretty much what I was planning to do - straight nipple and then a sweeping 90. Did you go with braided lines or something else? I'm thinking that -8 AN should be big enough for my build.
