For the later push fit fuel rails, you can buy an AN fitting/adaptor that goes straight on, seen threm available in the states, maybe summit or jegs have them? Re tanks, is remove them, wash em out then somewhere I read about pumping exhaust fumes in to neutralize the vapours. Beats me why a manufacturer would sell tanks with push on pipes these days, weld bungs aren't exactly expensive and I'd think easier to weld on.
If you can get the tanks out easily and they are not foam filled, it isnt to bad, as they can be cleaned out and purged before welding. Depending on the size of the pipes you need to convert from push on to threaded, it is possible to get a fitting that is compression on one end and male AN thread on the other.
Not sure where but I have seen them somewhere....
Krontec do hardline to AN fittings, might be worth checking their pipe size chart?
If the tube is imperial, Earls do them, or they are available here for a reasonable price...

That looks like the route for an existing installation. As long as the pipe sizes can be matched, always a mishmash of imperial and metric...
Bmrs, the ptfe hose brand that Neil and myself have used do hardline fittings also. They have a catalogue you can download from their website.
BMRS.net
I was having Email tennis with Barry at Bmrs last week, if you order your hose and fittings from them, they assemble and pressure test them free of charge.

Speedflow do that too, but always good to know of personal experience ...Originally Posted by strat24v
So, given I am looking to do this on my Beta, I guess the arguments are the same as above?
Now for the silly question, just looking for reassurance! Do I assume you have to cut the beaded ends off all the push on pipes before using these hardline adapters? As may make some of the pipes pretty short on the tank etc.

Yes Peter. First off you need to slide the nut onto the pipe which will be a smidge larger than the pipe itself, following that, you'll slide on an olive, not the edible variety mind. Very much like a domestic plumbing compression fitting.
