I'd like to use a hydramat with my fuel tank. But, the input for my fuel pump is 22mm. Holley has one that connects to an 11mm all the rest that would work for me are either 3/8 of 1/2 NPT. A 3/4" PVC coupler fits nice and snug on the intake for a size comparison. But obviously you can't use PVC in a fuel tank. My current thought is to try and use a piece of 3/4 fuel line and clamp it to the pump. There may be just enough of a lip to clamp it to. Then use a fitting or fittings to get it to attach to the 3/8 or 1/2 NPT.

Any other ideas? Anyone else have a fuel pump with a 22mm pick up ??

Not a popular idea, but how about getting a new pump?

I tried six ways from Sunday to use a Hydramat on my new tank setup and just couldn't figure out a good way because of the same problems you are finding. Holley's proprietary connections on the good sized mat really limit one's fuel pump choices.

I ended up with a Vaporworx setup with 2 corner pickups and am very happy with how it performs.
