Brass Fuel Fittings With Stainless Steel Bushings In Aluminum Fuel Tank

HI,
I'm checking to be sure it is ok to use brass fuel line fittings installed into stainless steel bushings in an aluminum fuel tank. The price of stainless steel right angle fuel line fittings is beyond comprehension.

Have you checked mcmaster carr for aluminum fittings. Probability not cheap either, but may make you happier down the road.

Found this on my boat. Replaced it with aluminum.
