Fuel line adaptors
 
1 Attachment(s)
Im wondering if anyone has 2 of the following fuel line adaptors? It is part # CTL 3485B

Im short 2 of them for my fuel line install. I tried part # C31UCW 104142 but they are a smaller fitting on one end and will not fit the thread size on the fuel pump or Mk1 fuel change over switch.

Ive got 2 of the C31UCW 104142 to do an outright trade if needed.

It's probably 1/4 BSP on both ends. Very common. take your sample into your local engineering supplier

Sadly it isn't. The fuel lines are 1/4 BSP fittings, but the other side that goes into the fuel selector or the fuel pump are something else. I do know modern brake lines pieces you can buy at a hardward/automotive store fit fine. I tried a fittings place and they could match one or the other but not both on the same piece. :doh:

The other end is most likely 1/4 NPT then. If so, it will be slightly smaller in dia. If you check a ford manual for the fitting that goes into the petrol pump, it might verify that. I imagine there would be some demand, and somebody must make them.

Jordan has already said one end is BSP.

LYNN.
Not having the fitting in my hot little hand I would think it would be a NPT x compression..SAE..
If so it is here..

IF it is some kind of BRIT fitting it would be here..

Either way Jordon should be looking for a replacement in a proper hose or fitting supplier.

Take the one he has and match it up here,,...

It is in Fort Wayne Indiana..but he could get the same thing at any decent hose shop..
He'll get a bunch..lots of hose shops in Hamilton.

OK ive figured out the thread sizes. It is 1/4 NPT x 1/4 BSP

Thanks all for the input. I'll find some new made ones.
