I might be out in left field on this but isn't 3/4 npt 3/4-14? If it is and the same od would you be able to chase the thread carefully with a pipe tap? the taper might actually make it easier to start straight. I am working from memory here and was thinking 3/4 pipe is about an inch and an eight od.

National pipe thread has a flank angle of 60 degrees. British pipe thread is 55 degrees. Plus the major diameters are different. I would strongly recommend using the proper tap.

Being in Europe the OP probably is aware that BSPP is also a DIN standard Thread
(G .5 equal to BSPP .5)

AT the risk of sending the thread on a tangent, I really need to ask, as a former BMW rider, that put a few miles on my bike riding from Spain to Thailand...fifty years ago...

Does the handle DarkarBemo somehow relate to the Paris-darkar race? Or maybe that was called an enduro...quite challenging anyway...

Edit: if curious, that was about a 14,000 mile ride...LOL

Yes I see that after I posted and looked up some info. I used to work in industry and we had a lot german machinery with din plumbing. We had a lot of the right taps but often it was a drain plug that was messed up like this job. sometimes a rush to get it back up and running and we would do something like I suggested and then order the proper tap for future. We had one guy famous for cross threading and would get a bigger wrench even on a straight thread with a sealing washer.

here's a BSPP tap for $40 plus shipping. Located right in Michigan. BSPP Tap

OOPS! I see the OP is in Holland. My bad. :)

Did you confirm the thread size? If not why not take the fitting to a supplier and match it up to a bolt. In a pinch you could also turn the new bolt into a tap. Just a thought.

if you want to know the thread size, cross reference your filter to a Wix number. On the Wix site, look up the wix number and the filter specs show the thread size of the filter. Since there are no Napa stores in Holland, Wix makes Napa filters and that’s why the Napa stores have the thread specs. Just like the Wix site.

There is no filter!!!! This is a Kubota only tank strainer.

Sorry. Just read the op’s text where he said he removed the filter. That’s what I was going off of.
I did the same initially. My apology for the snappy response - this thread has gone waaaaay off the rails over something as trivial as measuring a thread to ID it and you caught me in a moment of weakness.

No problem. You were correct and I appreciate that.
