I'm having as problem removing the brass nut for the fuel line coming
out of the tank. The tank is now off the car but the nut refuses to
budge after several days of penetrating oil (Kroil) soaking. Part of
the problem is that the nut is an odd size and none of my
wrenches/spanners fit it properly. It is within a few thou of .600
inches and this does not match up to fractional sizes. 19/32 is as
close as I can find and at that size I have only an open end wrench.
I purchased my Sprite new in England in 1962 and some of my SU
fittings are Whitworth but my Whitworth wrenches don't fit either.
BTW the drain plug came out with no problem at all. Any suggestions
would be greatly appreciated.
