Help with Russel Fittings I'm working with a russel bulkhead (-6 if you care), but one side has the taper on it like the AN fittings I'm hooking up, and the other side looks like the taper is on the inside instead of the outside like the rest of the AN fittings I've ever seen. Is that a different type of fitting?
It is just that a fuel cell bulkhead. one side screws to the fuel cell sandwhiching the fuel cell and the other side is a AN fitting. There are only provisions for a hose to hook to one side.

Thumper,
The bottom pic in Stealth's post is the one you want. I just finished up the fuel system for my 5.3L into 1998 Wrangler swap. I bought the same Russell fitting that you did (the black one), thinking it would work. I couldn't find anything that would seal off the tapered end so i ordered the normal bulkhead fitting. It has the two male ends that you need for the connections.
