Fuel tank banjo fitting.

[Frontier Fox]

I was wondering if anyone has come up with a banjo fitting installed in the fuel tank supply port. I have not been able to find one that has pipe threads. This would be a nice type of fitting to use and easier to remove to check the finger strainers at inspection.

I think I recall seeing Josh Esser retrofit his. If he doesn't chime in on this thread, maybe send him a PM. I wish I had banjo fittings. It's a good idea.

Kitfox has one.

Yep I got my retrofit kit from Kitfox.

My friend got his from Kitfox, but didn’t like them. So, he made it with a lower profile. His is the bottom one.

In the pictures, it looks like the banjo bolt goes into an adapter that is screwed into the finger screen fitting. Does anyone know what that adapter is and a possible source? Thanks for any responses. - Bob

I got everything as a kit from Kitfox. Don't know if they sell individual parts.

Banjo fittings here and Kitfox was perfectly happy to sell them as individual parts. I was concerned about stripping the fuel tank thread while turning a 90 degree fitting "just a little bit more" to have access. Not a concern with the banjos.

I like that John. Less fuel flow restriction also I believe.

Here's how I did it. The straight barbed hose fitting can be removed if necessary, although I think mine just barely clears for rotation/removal.
