Parts:
2 - Swagelock bulkhead fittings, 1/4" McMaster PN 5272K231 (cheaper on ebay)
2' - 1/4" stainless steel tubing sourced local, but McMaster has it too. Copper or Aluminum would work too.
Process:
Drill a couple holes where you want them. I like where I put them because it's the rear of the tank, where the fuel will be during acceleration.
Cut off your 'flange' and hog it out a little to fit stock filler (or any after-market one you want).
Cut your lines to the length you want. I made mine 1/4" from bottom for reserve, and about 2" from bottom for main. This means less reserve, but I like that. I've flipped to reserve and ran out because I have so much fuel that I forget how much time went by since flipping. Now, I will flip to reserve and head in shortly.
Insert your tube into the short side of the bulkhead fitting and lock it down.
Goop up your fitting where it will seal to the tank. I used Honda bond. May not be the best to use, but it's what I had. If I need to reseal it, no big deal to remove them and put something else.
Insert tube/fitting assembly into drilled hole from inside of tank. Goop up where lock nut will snug against tank and install lock nut. I have stubby wrenches, so getting one in the tank was no big deal. Tighten lock nut.
Clean your tank, you'll have some crap in there.
Install your filler using ss screws and stock gasket. Check for leak using water, may need to goop this too.
Just install a little of the remaining 1/4" ss tubing on the top or make an elbow to hook your fuel line to. I may try to flare the tube a little to form an end barb, but I don't think it's really needed. There's no real pressure on these hoses.
