Reference water inlets and outlets:

When we built water tanks for our race cars we would start with heavy wall aluminum tubing that had the correct ID and then machine the OD to the appropriate OD leaving a bead in place. This allowed us to leave a small ramp at the outside so the hose could slip on easier. The inside of the bead had basically a 90 degree cut to help retain the hose. We never popped a hose off or had leaks. Keep in mind that most common grades of aluminum oxidize (corrode) easily.
