Changing Fuel line need sizes

Over the weekend I looked at some Case tractors, some of the smaller ones have the same engine we are running, so I took a peak at the fuel system, guess what? They are running 1/2" lines from the tank to LP to the IP. The LP has 1/2" fitting going to it

I was going to buy one of those when my LP went out but the pump only runs for a few seconds to get the IP going, so I'm told.

The big question? WHEN IS DODGE GOING TO PULL THEIR HEAD OUT

Sorry just had to vent.

Guess what I want to do

What is the thread size of the Banjo that goes into the VP44?

What is the thread size of the Banjo that goes into the LP?

Is there a local automotive store that carries these fittings?

Any info on this would be great.

Thanks

Wade

The size of the banjo bolts are all the same-- at the filter, the VP, etc. It's a Weber Carburetor inlet fitting-- 12mm x 1.5.

These are not commonly available at local places. You can order a -6AN inlet from Summit racing or Jegs. A larger -8AN is available from www.wildcatdiesel.com as part of their max flow kit. They will sell the fitting separately.

I recommend the max flow- I have it and it's great.

I'm looking to go with 1/2" barb fittings not AN Sorry I did not clarify this.

Do these even exist?

I have seen several pictures of custom filters with this type of fitting but have never seen pics of them on LP's, or the filter housing.

I have read however where people have done it.

Thanks
