  No I think that 1/2 x 20 compression fitting and ferrel like on the carb inlet. ken ct OMO

  that's what I thought, I used a ferrel and it leaked!
The seat in the tank is not tapered to accept the ferrel and it did not compress? the seat is flat not tapered, that's why I thought maybe it needs a flare?

  Is it possible someone in the past installed the wrong fitting at the tank. Don't think ive ever seen a flared gas fitting on a ford back then. ??? It would have to be a double flare if so. (diff than a single flare) ken ct.
