When I replaced the gas tank in my first addition 49 Coupe, I was aware that there is a special long ferrule, that allows for the ferrule to tighten the gas line connection. After removing the fuel line, I took a pick and got it out of the outlet and put the ferrule in a safe place. The new tank required the long ferrule to complete the fuel line connection. Others have bought tanks that did not require it, mine did. It could be on the tank outlet or on the ground where you removed the old tank
