Does anyone know what size thread is used on the fuel lines connections on the fuel tank?

Unfotunately one of the tail ends have been cross threaded. I have some 8mm fuel hose, olives to hand just need to source the correct hose tails. If anyone has a link to some that would be great as i dont want to be spending a fotune on fuel pipes?

Which of the unions has been cross threaded?

If it's on either the feed or return, you can cut the tail back and install a standard compression fitting.

Nice, cheap and simple.

All my fuel lines to the pump and lift pump are a very tight fit in length and should be replaced for longer items ideally. My defender had a 300 tdi conversion by the previous owner and was a bit of a bodge.

The reason to make my own was to direct them and give greater slack on the pipes. So ideally i need the right tails to use on the 8mm solid pipe to rubber piping.

Can anyone help,

Or is it worth me buying second hand items and cutting the hose tails off and using the rubber pipe with jubilee clips.

1/4" NPT I think or might be 1/8th
