Fuel tank vent line nipple repair

[jhammett89]

I snapped off the nipple when pulling my tank vent line off. I am debating trying to repair this and have seen some people do threaded brass inserts. At the same time this is a gas tank and I am not sure I should risk it. Anyone try to repair these? Thank you!

You can also use one of these. My JAZ tank uses them and I know other tanks do to. Stupid simple.

I would buy a billet one /\/\/\, I installed that one on a buddies ski, it was rusted bad in one season.

You think if I drill it out that grommet will seal well on a stock tank? Maybe I am being paranoid but it is gasoline Thanks for the help!

I have put in a few of these fittings, never seen one leak. Two of those times were in stock SJ tanks.

The tank plastic is very thick where those nipples are. Just drill it and thread for 1/8" NPT and get a brass or nylon fitting to screw in there.
I have those push on fittings for my aluminum tank and the grommets don't last in addition to the fitting rusting...
