[DeTomaso] Fuel Line Question

For my tank, I just ran an american pipe tap up the tank drain bung and cut
some new threads.  I then used standard 1/2 pipe with plenty of Permatex #2
non hardening.  It has been just fine for 15 years that way.

NPT fitting and fuel line to run to my fuel pump.  I don't imagine there is
a readily available reducer to go from the tank threads to NPT?  I thought
about using a 1/2 inch line from the tank to the pump,  but it looks like
3/8 fuel filters are a lot easier to come by.  I am using the RobbMc
mechanical fuel pump with 3/8 ports that is supposed to support 550 HP.
Any thoughts?
