Fuel Sending Unit Fitting Question..

[morethanstock66]

So I swapped the in cab tank for a new one and a new sending unit. I took out the old one, put in the new gear. No leaks, runs great and then I turn it off and the sending unit-fuel line connection is just weeping a bit. I decide to snug it up, 1/4 turn, and it snaps. Now the tank has gas in it and the brass snapped in half.



My question is, Would it be worth it to remove old brass fitting, off of the old tank and putting it on the new sending unit in the new tank? Problem is that the sending unit line is flared on the inside and soldered to the brass on the outside. Otherwise it is getting a new sending unit and that is $50... Thoughts?
