Need to find some 3/8 fuel fittings (T's ,valves etc.) in Kemah TX.to build bypasses around the primer bulbs I installed in my fuel supply.No luck in "The Boaters Directory" or Home Depot. Does anyone have any ideas?Primer bulbs are working great but cause blockages from the black crud before it gets to the primary filters.
I have 24 inch diameter by 72 inch SS baffled tanks without any inspection ports or piping holes except at fwd end for pickup and aft end for fill. I've had a double hose cleaning done in St Petes, which picked up a lot of crud but probably couldn't get to the *fwd compartments. I subsequently have used my oil change pump to scour the bottom of the tanks which helps a lot.
I realise i'm going to have to design and install inspection /clean out ports in each of the compartments but would like to wait till I back in Canada - unless someone has a quick way to punch a (series of 4)hole in the tank (say 1")and get a capped nipple on said hole without welding.
