I wish I knew the real name of whoever posted this message :-)
It's easy to go to your user control panel > user profile > edit signature and automatically sign your name to each post. That way we wouldn't have to call you "guy", or worse, some make believe name.

I didnt use the oops fittings, they seemed a little flimsy for my taste. The problem you will need to address is the thickness of the tank walls will probably require a longer “bulkhead” portion than the pictured item. I found a source for beefy stainless steel bulkheads fittings, which were pricey....but we are talking about a gas tank in your lap...

Yes, not a happy place to have a gas leak in the air.

That looks cool. Less junctions to worry about. Except how do you ensure the nut doesn't come loose in the tank? How do you tighten it?

I need to get one of my grandkids with skinny arms to reach in there and put the nut on.
