Depends on the tank size (for connector) and pump size for fittings. Shurflo pumps are 1/2".

Use these...... Leak free system for life.

For the pumps;

For the pipe between;

Aslong as you stick with speedfit 15 mill you can't go wrong. You can get all kinds of connections for your system at Screwfix and if you pick something up wrong you can always take it back.

The most complicated bit is to get your speedfit onto the hoselock connection. So to get round it you need one of these connectors;

(Stupid long link)

Then one of these;

Then basically what you do is unscrew the brass piece off the bottom of hoselock and throw it away. This leaves you with the hoselock collar that screws onto the speedfit like this.........

The only thing I can't help you with is the fitting from the tank to the pump as they are all different and just depends what you have.

It will usually be something like this that you need though;
