A fuel tank connection assembly (10) may include a first connector (16) and a second connector (18) that are brought together with a fuel tank neck tubing (20). The first connector (16) may have one or more self-tapping thread(s) (34) located at an interior surface (32) of the first connector, and may also have a set of first screw threads (36) located at the interior surface (32). The second connector (18) may have a set of second screw threads (50) located at an exterior surface (44) of the second connector. When the first and second connectors (16, 18) are brought together with the fuel tank neck tubing (20), the self-tapping thread(s) (34) can be threaded over an exterior surface (68) of the fuel tank neck tubing (20) and the first and second screw threads (36, 50) can be mated together.
