Originally 45 degrees.

 

[doc g]

but the Racor male fittings are 37' so ........I'm confused

Racors use JIC standard fittings. ,

 

[Glory]

Are the Racors Brass or steel?

 

[doc g]

yes that is what i have determined , Racors use 37 degree but the Kantleak fuel shut off valves at the tank are 45 degree. Confirmed by the manufacturer. I think I just found found the cause of my annoying air leak at the Racor ............Pat
