Anyone have a source for the large fuel line that comes out of the pump at the tank?. Looks like 1/2 or bigger steel line with a large inverted male fitting.So far can not find .

I went to menards and picked up 1/2" copper flex tubing and some 1/2" compression fitting to patch up my fuel line...

I gotta say Bobby, I know what fitting he is after...........I had to make the one on my old second tank........I went all over....even the largest plumbing houses in our area........no such luck, was able to find something close but not quite........I spent 2 weeks stumping everyone with that one......and you know me I drove the truck to every place to let them try every fitting they had. No one could find that one.......Just like today went all over for a da-- fitting on the bottom of the injection pump......was told they didn't make it.......I even handed them the thing and they had no idea what to do........I am having a new line made up with the next size up flare so I can use a common size flare for that line.
A few of the fitting's on these things are old sizes that they just don't make anymore.

Bones......get a hold of C&C equipment........he is here in Indiana........a member on here as well, and you can find his info on ebay......anyway tell him what you need and he can get one off a junk truck, he has a huge salvage yard, the line itself is 1/2" but should be copper, and if you have a flare tool can make the correct flare for it.

Great idea Eagle. I have been hunting that fitting/line for a while now with no luck at all. I think it is 1/2 tube o.d.x 3/4-18 inverted flare thread. I even thought about brazing the pump up and re threading it in 3/8 pipe, something I can get fittings for.

I discovered they are AN (Army-Navy) fittings. I bought a motor and was capping off everything to pressure wash and had stripped the motor down and wanted to cap off where the fuel line connected to the IP and the return line connected to the fuel filters. I have a lot of AN fittings from building sandrails an a -8 AN cap screwed right on.
not positive, but I bet all inverted flare fittings are AN.

Remember the old Chevy cars that had a metal fuel line threaded into the fuel pump down on the engine and it ran up and threaded into the carburetor. That is an inverted thread male nut that is on the metal tubing. Thread is inverted flare and I'd different than non etc.The line / fitting I need is on the fuel tank,the largest line and threads directly into the fuel pump out fitting.Looks like a piece of brake line on steroids

Ok, as easy as looking at the parts tm, and identifying it by NSN. 4730-00-014-2435
Then a google search for that, and look at the "parttarget" link that comes up. http://www.parttarget.com/4730-00-014-2435_4730000142435_143407.html
Then scroll down to the list of manufacturers and their part numbers.
The simple answer is you need an inverted nut SAE J512 fitting.

Thanks Doghead, for your research. SAEJ512 type is correct in 3/4 thread, 1/2 in tube 45 deg. An adapter, inv flare male to barbed 1/2 hose would be ideal. I remember them from the 70's hot rod days and you could walk into real auto parts stores and pick them up but the wax stores nowadays don't have many hard parts anymore.Try finding a Weatherhead, Edelman, Imperial brass cabinet today.
I am installing an extra fuel tank and it came with no lines on the pump.
This is an exellent info link on fitting sizing http://www.discounthydraulichose.com/v/vspfiles/downloadables/thread_guide.pdf
