 226 forum posts 45 photos | I have acquired a 1955 grey Ferguson tractor and need to modify part of the diesel fuel line by tapping a hole in the Kigass tank (a whole new story!). The fittings are the compression olive type and I thought the thread was 1/8"BSP , it is certainly the same size but a different tpi Any ideas? Tony |

226 forum posts 45 photos | Of course! - it is certainly coarser than the BSP and I had forgotten about NPT threads. Thanks Tony |

| 137 forum posts 1 photos | That sounds likely as NPT are used on fuel threads if I remember correctly. Incidentally, if you haven't already found it'd be worth logging onto the Grey Fergie Forum as it's a mine of useful info - helped me no end with my TED20 |
