Bought a new bowl for my B, my old one's gas shutoff would not work. It's smaller than the original but fit the tank fine. However the gas line is too big. Can you buy an adapter for that? Would Napa have it? I been looking though catalogs but havn't found one. The place I got it won't accept returns so I want to make this one work. Thanks.

Take the sediment bowl back and get the correct one would be the best way. Next you can find brake line at any good auto parts store that works just fine

I think every one I have bought in the last 10 years or so all have had the smaller threads, but yes, there is an adapter somewhere out there.(Lowes, etc.)

I would take it back for the correct one or ask for the adapter. I have several after market catalogs and they come with a adapter fittings.

Or he somehow damaged it. I don't think we are getting the full story.
If the fuel line is original, the nut and attached ferrule is different than just about ANYTHING you're gonna find. It is NOT the same as a double-flared brake fitting, or an off-the-shelf compression fitting. If you are going to use a mickey mouse sediment bowl you'll need to change the fitting at the end of the line. An IH dealer that has been around about forever MIGHT have a brass adapter from "back in the day" to fit the fuel line, but that would be about the only chance of finding something that's a direct fit.
Got that right. There are adapters all over the place for an inverted flare fitting or the female nut with separate ferrule on the line to std pipe thread in the sediment bowl but to find one for those original style male nuts with ferrule is a challenge. I keep a few nuts with ferrules on hand just to show parts guys what I am talking about.
The fuel line connection in the white metal part of the sediment bowl is most likely 1/8 inch pipe threads. So take out whatever came in that outlet with your new bowl. Then go to NAPA or a plumbing supply and get an adapter that goes from 1/8 inch male pipe threads to 5/16 compression tube fitting. Screw that into the 1/8 pipe threads on the bowl and then use the compression tube fitting to connect to the gas line. You may have to cut the end off the old tubing and put the ferrule on the tubing. If you don't care about making it look orginal, then get some 5/16 ID rubber gas line tubing and use a short piece of 5/16 copper tubing at the sediment bowl and slide the rubber tubing over that and install a clamp. Do the same at the carb end.
