        John, et all, some  tanks have the small outlet, some have the
large outlet, why, I have no  idea but it's easy to make the connection to the
pump in different ways.   The small plastic box filters I get from my
supplier have a small diameter input  and large diameter output.  So, it can be
used to make the connection from  small output of the tank to large input of
the pump.  If I or my customer  does not want the filter or I have a large
diameter output on the tank then  I make a step set up with two pieces of fuel
hose one inside the other to make  up the difference.  Since there is no
pressure in this line it will seal  perfectly with a good fuel line hose clamp.

did you use to adapt the smaller  tank outlet to the fuel  pump?<<<<<<
