Re: How to connect 4 AN fitting to NPT fitting? I've never seen just one fitting to do the job. It usually takes a -4AN Female to 1/8" Male pipe adapter and then a 1/8" pipe coupling. Also check at any local hydraulic hose/fitting stores. They have every fitting known to man.

Re: How to connect 4 AN fitting to NPT fitting? All the adapters I see on that page still look like your going to need a 1/8" pipe coupler? 
For it to be one piece it would have to have female ends on both sides of the fitting. -4AN on one side to screw onto the fuel rail and 1/8" pipe on the other end for the sender to screw into. I didn't see anything like that on any of the pages I checked?? Somebody link to the exact page your seeing this beast on.
Thanks

Re: How to connect 4 AN fitting to NPT fitting? Thats what i was thinking. I wasnt sure if thta was the fitting or not. Does anyone know if you can just buyt the fitting from them. Thats all thats holding me up. Everything is already wired and ready to go. Maybe i should go try and have someone make me a -4an coupled to hose then to a female 1/8 npt and that should work......Ill look around town for it.

Re: How to connect 4 AN fitting to NPT fitting? I found a local place that can make braided line with a -4 on one side and a 1/8npt on the other anodized red ends. I got 2' so I can come out of the valve do a 180 down the fuel rail and mount the sender at the back of the fuel rail. Let me know if you're interested.

Re: How to connect 4 AN fitting to NPT fitting? Hahaha, just call metco, tell them you need the LS1 fuel rail adpter for autometer gauges. They know what it is. You can even verify with them that it's -4AN female to 1/8"NPT female. Plus, one fitting instead of 2 gives you, what, 33% less chance of leaks. And it looks better (polished silver).
