Fuel Cell - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

70chevy · 01-26-2003, 06:09 PM

Beleive it or not jut received my fuel cell today on (Sunday) Fed Ex. from summitt racing. I got the 16 gal pro street (Sum 290-100) that several on the board have bought. It has two 8-AN fittings which I was going to connect with 3/8" i.d. (SPE-29410).
Do i need to reduce the fitting down to 3/8" or I am missing something.

Need advice.

Thanks,

Ken

[B]Hi Ken, just wanted to say Hi. I lived in Dever of the east for most of my life until 1982 when Duke power moved me down here to Clemson SC. Hope to meet up with you sometime and talk about our trucks.

I use to hang out all over Lincoln county, have a brother in Shelby, my wifes folks are all up that way also in Forest city.

Small world isn't. You have a nice looking truck. Maybe I will see you at some of the shows, Pigeon Forge, Charlotte. I normally make it to both of these. This board and the shows is the only thing keeping me motivated.

That would be great. I was at metrolina the other weekend with Big O, and King Parts. I drove up just for the day. Have you ever gone to Mrytle Beach show it is great. I have been the last 3 or 4 years now.

It's dates are March 20,21,22
It's a great show with lots of venders.

Have not been to MB show yet. We are planning to fly down on Sat. just for the day. I hope this will be the best day.

did you already buy the hose? Areoquip makes adaptors for almost anything, call up summit, they can get you the right parts. Im not sure you can use regular aluminum fittings on that line.

Andy4639 · 01-27-2003, 08:30 AM

Yes, that would be the best day, it's also the last day.

lost wages · 01-27-2003, 12:43 PM

call summit and ask if the hose will accept an end like this, if it will this is your best bet. Otherwise the part they are talking about will have a 8 an fitting on one side and male pipe thread on the other. Then you will also need a female pipe thread fitting with a barbed end. Got that? me neither!

70chevy · 01-27-2003, 04:08 PM

I got you now. Surely they will have something to adapt to.
I called Summitt and they have a 8 AN Female to 3/8" male.
Now all I need is the 3/8 barbed fitting and I will be in business.
Thanks for the help.

Ken
