The appropriate fitting to use is a 22mm x 1.5 banjo. It has a -10AN output. It fits very closely to the bottom of the tank and is pretty tough, as you'd expect something that size to be. The only source I know of is BAT, Inc. in Sarasota, FL (941-355-0005) and they have the appropriate crush washers as well. If you're drawing fuel from the bottom of the tank, you'd use your OEM pickup tube as the return line. If you prefer an external fuel pump, it's pretty hard to beat the tried and true Bosch "O44" pump. It's cheap, quiet and very reliable. Drawing fuel from the bottom of the tank is by no means the most desirable way to do it but it's inexpensive, simple and effective. If you're really concerned about road debris hitting part of the fuel system, you could always do what I did and have a simple skid plate "fabbed", to protect the bottom of the fuel tank, fittings and lines.

Some day, when my engine's out and I'm feeling ambitious, I'll probably have a new fuel tank made, with an in-tank pump and all fittings on top, but for now, what I have works perfectly.
