Let me guess - you have a '90-91 Vanagon, or at least one that lacks a fuel
filter before the pump. Sometime in 1990, VW did away with the pre-pump fuel
filter. Since that filter had a different sized inlet and outlet, this
necessitated a different diameter fuel line from tank to pump - hence a
different sized nipple on the tank. Since this tank is fairly rare, it is
not generally available aftermarket. But there is an easy workaround.  A
simpler solution than brazing in a new fitting is to simply add the pre-pump
filter (and fuel line), which also provides a little extra filtration
protection for the pump (not a bad thing).
