    Loose threads

    Stewart vacuum fuel pump question

    I'm helping a friend with his Stewart vacuum fuel pump. I cant find the right size fitting for the fuel inlet. Anything I try is either to big or to small. All the other holes are 1/8 and 3/8. But the fuel port is an odd size. Anyone know what size it is and where I can find it? Thank you.
