O-rings in the fuel tank...HELP!!
O-rings in the fuel tank...HELP!! I posted this in the fuel section, but sure could use some help as soon as possible so I can finish this fuel tank deal up.
Okay, here's the deal. I am putting together a twin intank set up on my 2000 camaro. I am using a Y fitting that has "AN" threaded holes in the tank.
I was told I need to use O-rings on the "AN" fittings that screw into the Y fitting.
I don't feel so good about using O-rings that are in the tank submerged in gas. What do you guys think???
Also, if I shouldn't use O-rings. What should I use to seal the "AN" fittings on the Y block inside the tank? Remember that this Y fitting uses "AN" threads but does NOT have the tappered head so the "AN" can seal up to it. It is just a Y fitting with "AN" thread pitch and nothing else!
I think I should be able to tighten it down real good and leave it. Maybe I should use some JB weld at the top of the threads so that it will seal.
Also, I am going to drill the top of the plastic so I can run the wires for the second pump to come out. What should I use to seal that hole??
What do you guys think? I need help ASAP, as I would like to get this thing back together.
Thanks,
Glenn

I don't have a camera. My friend is going to come over tomorrow night so I will take pictures of them and then post them.
Mighty, I will try and get something up by the weekend.

I used silcone to seal up the top hole for a second pump. We used regular high psi rubber fuel lines with the metal screw clamps and works good. Why spend all the money on fitting if you don't need to.
most silicone and fuel doesnt mix well..
If your 'Y' is made for o-ring fittings then use o-ring fitting. Everything made by areomotive, pumps regulators and filters all use o-rings so thats not a concern.
Since someone answered you in the fuel section already I'll lock this one.
