Could someone please tell me what I would need from my spun aluminum tank all the way to two weber 44's?
I also have a pressure regulator that takes 1/8" NPT that will be used and would like to add at least one AN fuel filter. I am confused on AN fitting sizes etc. With the price of these items I don't want to have a bunch of parts I order that won't work. A good source for these would be great too. Thanks!

Appreciate the help.

Here is a link to a chart showing the various AN (Army/Navy Specs) fittings:

Thing with AN fittings you can use what ever size you want and select the adapter fittings based on the pipe thread size at the final connections. For fuel lines I would go with AN6 that uses 3/8" ID line. You could use AN4 however on the small size IMHO. I do not thing the small cost savings is worth possibly not having the flow rate needed at WOT. I buy most of my AN stuff on Ebay. There are tons of this stuff there as NASCAR rules only allow them to run lines for a specified period of time. You can get stuff 50 cents on the dollar or less.

The webers take some harder to find thread size fitting, but I've found you can just use a -6x1/8 npt with some loctite.
