[QUOTE="Bebop, post: 758817, member: 5925"] Now if you want to add a hydramat inside the tank, here is what to get. (1) Hydramat that fits in your tank. The different options are here: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.holley.com/products/fuel_systems/hydramat/hydramats/[/URL] Given your tank I'd get the 16-100 if you can swing it. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.holley.com/products/fuel_systems/hydramat/hydramats/parts/16-100[/URL] If you want to save some money, I think the 16-101 would do the job. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.holley.com/products/fuel_systems/hydramat/hydramats/parts/16-101[/URL] Then you need a way to connect the hydramat from the inside of the tank to the bulkhead fitting that's on the outside of the tank and a solution to keep the hydramat from moving around in the tank. For this I highly encourage you to use hard line plumbing because it will do both jobs at once. Move the fuel between the mat and the fitting and keep the mat in place. Some people use submersible hose, but it'll leave the mat floating around inside and that's no good. I buy all my hard line **** for the hydramats at my local Ace Hardware and it's super cheap too. You'll need : (1) 3/8 MIP to 3/8 compression fitting (1) 3/8 compression to 1/2 FIP fitting (1) 3/8 aluminum hardline (sold in like 4ft lengths) The second fitting is 1/2 FIP on one end since this is the most common bulkhead fitting that's used in a fuel tank (AN8). If you have a AN6 you should use a 3/8 FIP. If you have a AN10 you're ****ed and need a reducer since 3/8 compression to 5/8 FIP isn;t available. But I highly doubt it. If you're doing it right, it should look like this when you're done. [ATTACH type="full"]124174[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]124175[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]124176[/ATTACH] Any questions, just ask. Also, I used a 90 degree 3/8 MIP to 3/8 compression fitting in my exemple because it packages better, but it's up to you to use whatever works. Use common sense. [/QUOTE]
