Well the Airdog is here! I forgot that the kits for our trucks come with an M12 x 1.5 straight, quick connect fitting and a 90* fitting on the hose end. Being that I planned to use hose to allow for flexing, I'll just cut the hose supplied by Airdog and clamp it to the stainless. Problem solved!

That's how I have mine. The only problem is the throttle linkage on the pump comes close to making contact depending on how you have things adjusted...and the return spring drags along the top of the hose.

Talk to 1lowdiesel and 2tone12v on CompD. They are Airdog reps.

I PM'd Anthony (2tone12v), I believe and even posted in their section but haven't gotten a single response. He's been on plenty of times since then too.

Well, I decided to give the Airdog a good volume of fuel with 3/4" stainless tubing from the sump the pump. I've been collecting all the fittings I need and will get a few more this week. I'll be picking up all of the tubing this Sunday. Also, I was interpreting the fitting sizes backwards. What I thought was 1/2" NPT x 3/8" for the suction and supply side are actually 3/8" NPT x 1/2" quick connect and for the return line rather than 3/8" NPT x 1/8" is actually 1/8" NPT x 3/8" quick connect. All of these are the thread sizes in the pump base just for anyone who may be interested in building their own fuel lines in the future.
