OVERVIEW
This 1/4-inch metal fuel tank elbow enables riders to create new fuel outlets or repair existing connections on metal gas tanks through a direct drill-in installation method. Built from durable brushed metal with a bonded rubber grommet, the fitting secures quickly with a press-in action that maintains a fuel-tight seal under vibration and heat exposure. This universal design supports both restoration projects and custom fuel line routing where OEM ports are missing or compromised.
ENGINEERING & PERFORMANCE
The 90-degree metal elbow establishes a reliable flow path for fuel transfer, directing line routing efficiently while preventing restriction near auxiliary connections. Manufactured from brushed metal paired with an integral rubber grommet, the fitting leverages a compression-based seal that holds fast against pressure changes and mechanical stress inherent to mobile platforms. The push-in retention system simplifies attachment by removing the need for clamp adjustments or adapter hardware. Once a 1/2-inch opening is prepared, the assembly snaps into the tank wall to deliver an immediate, leak-tested port solution.
KEY FEATURES

WHY RIDERS CHOOSE THIS
Riders select this 1/4-inch metal elbow whenever they need a dependable way to add fuel access to tanks lacking spare ports or possessing damaged outlets. The combination of a rigid brushed-metal connection and a flexible rubber grommet addresses common failure points like loose fittings or slow leaks by delivering a solid mechanical seal that holds up during vibrations. Operators appreciate the push-in design because it removes the complexity of sourcing clamps or dealing with threaded compatibility issues, allowing quick modifications to auxiliary fuel setups. This fitting integrates smoothly into custom tank fabrication and restoration work, giving builders precise control over fuel line placement without compromising the structural integrity of the reservoir.
