Tanner, NAPA, in most instances will have a much larger inventory of brass fittings than would most chain auto parts stores, because they not only cater to the retail clientele, but are wholesale suppliers to automotive repair shops.

If you have your fuel tank removed, you can have it professionally cleaned and lined, or you can do it yourself by attaching it someway to a device that will rotate it and put some pea size gravel or tumbling stones in the tank and tumble it until the scale inside is cleaned up. Then turn it upside down and allow "all" the stones to escape. Then pour the liner inside and pour out the excess. It depends on how comfortable you feel in attempting such a project. One fellow I know of strapped the gas tank to a rear tractor wheel which had been jacked up from the ground and allowed to turn for several hours.
