48 Ply. Gas tank- fuel line fit

[JFranklin]

1948 Plymouth - Does anyone know how the fuel line to gas tank is supposed to fit as the pipe in the fitting at the tank seems loose and is a flared end and the gas line is also a flared end. is there a gasket that goes between the two flares <> ?

I assume this is a double flare joint, hand tight, no gasket used on double flare joints, inspect fittings closely for damage or mismatch

Maybe someone will be kind enough to post a pic of the assembly connections, my 1954 and prior MoPar parts book, Group 14-Fuel, does not show a detail picture.

There is supposed to be a ferrule in that fitting. I believe the parts book calls it a "fuel tank filter nipple sleeve." Mopar part #1122375. A search on PartsVoice.com shows several suppliers.

Hope that helps.

I have a 1948 Plymouth. There is a very small double ended piece that goes in

first. I never noticed it until I saw it lying on the garage floor. I can send a photo of it. Will need you email to do so. Andy W.

I fixed one once with a red fibre washer. A neoprene O ring might work. I'm not recommending a substitution if you can get the right part but in a pinch it could get you going.
