The Fumoto valve is one piece cast so the nipple cannot be replaced.

After trying the adapted sump plug route with a welded on take off that leaked, I decided to get MRC to weld a proper return to the sump and do the job properly. Yes it a bit of pain to take the sump of but not a massive one!
Can't see the point botching it after all the effort that went in to the rebuild already.Comment

I highly disagree that the fumoto valve is a bodge job
To be honest I like it better then the welded piece of alloy on a sump.Comment

Ok, many good ideas here. I also have to put a drain connector to the sump... Jamo's version is quite safe if the pipe is a little bit longer, if the hose come off you don't loose all oil.

Once the fumoto comes I will have a look. I dont know how it is going to be, but from the look of it ornate be able to modify it efficiently.Comment

Fumoto valve is here.
Its excactly as Jamo said, its one piece and a 19mm oil hose fits very nicely in there. SO i am thinking a 90deg bend on that and a straight or flexi hose to the tank with an adaptor as my tank has 1/4 NPT drain. (god knows what that means.... Rusty???? Heeeeelp!!)Comment

1/4 NPT is National Pipe Thread, American and Tapered (I think there is a very uncommon parallel too) The thread size is nothing like the 1/4" as this refers to the ID of the tube normally.
If you measured the thread it would be more like 1/2".Comment

No i didnt
this is what i was told by the manufacturer.so i need to know so i can get an adaptor that i would be able to fit a 19mm hose thereafterComment
-
now that i see the email again, it says that the thread size is 1/4. So is that what i should be looking for as an adaptor?Comment

You will want a 1/4 NPT (male or female?) to 3/4 tube fitting. Is it a straight fitting you want? I may have one in the locker here

i was thinking of using a push on of some sort, so i would need an adaptor from 1/4 to whatever is the thread on the goodridge hoses, and the pushlock type would need to be a 90deg bend to as you say 3/4 size hose fitting.
by push on i mean this: http://www.merlinmotorsport.co.uk/GO...406/index.htmlComment

OK, well you want a 1/4 NPT male or female depending on your tank, to JIC male... I'll have a look for the fitting...
What is on your fumoto valve and do you have a link to it?Comment
