Quick (I hope) question!
What is the male thread on the push pull (two sided) Fuel tap outlet on a scuttle tank?
I think it is 1/8 BSP....?

I think the thread into the tank is 1/8 BSP and the outlet from the tap 1/4 BSP. Certainly is on my RK.

If you have the fuel tap fitted to the later cars (AG Tourer, RN saloon etc.) it has a 1/4" BSP thread.

Thanks to all. 
It is 1/8 BSP. I made up a copper down pipe to which I fitted the filter and then a flex Clear pipe to the fuel pump. The scuttle tank feeds the crankcase pump which lifts the fuel to the 30VI Nippy carb & manifold..
