Tanner,
I just sent you an email, guess I should have checked here first! These guys sparked my memory and I think I told you wrong on that oil gauge fitting (Thanks guys for straightening me out). I thought it might be 1/8" NPT on both sides, but the references to a tube fitting are correct (for the old gauge). I checked some of my old stock and found an empty box (which I sometimes save for a part number when I find something useful) from Brass-Tite, part #43011, listed as 1/4" OD tube to 1/8" female NPT. I can't guarantee that it's the final solution, but I would sure start there as it's probably why I saved it. It probably came from a Pep Boys or the like. I have the hood off my H at the moment (recently replaced PS unit seals) and will check if it has one of these adapters on it. If so, will try to get a picture and email it to you tomorrow.

On the fuel tank, you got several good ideas here, but many of them aimed at tanks with a rust problem where scale is breaking loose and constantly plugging things up. I don't think you had a rust problem as much as dirt, so you should be OK with flushing. Certainly inspect it again to be sure, but I recall the inside of the tank was still fairly bright.
