5/16JIC/5-AN to anything adapter

[Crawdaddy]

The last step on my generator trailer project is to hook up the 90 gallon external tank to the aux in fuel pump on my MEP-003 set. I've been having a heck of a time finding an adapter to get from the 5/16JIC fitting on the pump to any standard AN fitting size. I ultimately need to get to the 10-AN male fitting that's on the tank's dip tube.

I know 5/16JIC is effectively the same thing as 5-AN, but even getting from 5-AN to anything has been a pain. The best I've found is Earl's 991907 5-AN to 6-AN male, but then I have to find a short 5-AN hose to hook between the pump and that fitting. Does anyone have any hints on where I can find a fitting that will help me finish this project?

So the -10an fitting is on the tank. That sounds very big. What kind of aux tank is it? Can you get a photo of the tank?

I've had good luck going to my local hydraulic shop and having them make custom hoses.

This is what we do at work. I've never had them not be able to adapt something.

So how about this:

10AN on tank is male, right? - https://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS/555/110873/10002/-1

That gets you down to a -6AN (which is 9/16-18 ) so from there: http://www.hydraulichoses.com/Produ...MIr72NhtC93QIVnoqzCh0KtQXjEAQYBCABEgLPAvD_BwE Item #2406-06-05

This will pick up the 9/16-18M on the first adapter, and end at a 5/16JIC Male.

Is that what you want?

Oh, and I may have a couple left over short fuel lines left from an old 002A I used to have, which might work if you need a small hose to go from M to M.

I've used this outfit for fittings to assemble fuel lines. https://www.discounthydraulichose.com/product_p/3-05545.htm
Kind of a pain in the rear to wade through their search results, though.

Edit: I must have tossed them out, knowing I would probably never have another air cooled unit. With that said, I DO have an 802 parts unit, which should have a short fuel line from the aux inlet, to the aux fuel pump I could part with.

Why not just change the -5 90 degree fitting in the aux pump to a -6, and get a -6 hose instead of all kinds of adapters.-6 90 degree to pipe thread is a common enough fitting.
That's what I did, and I changed the -5 to straight pipe fitting on the Jerry can adapter to a -6. Still cheaper than just buying the -5 hose assy. for Aux fuel.

Or you could buy a -5 cap and drill/tap it out to 1/8in npt

I did find that 002A fuel hose with 5AN fittings on both sides, FYI.
