I can confirm that I'm using 15mm x 1.5p Saginaw to AN6 fittings for my GM fuel filters, as Ed had recommended a couple of years ago.  If you're using a plain 15mm x 1.5p adapter fitting, then how are you getting them to seal?

Hi Mark,
 
Are you using the same filters Ed and I mentioned?  What I have is the AC Delco #GF481 equivalent from Puralator (because that's what Advanced Auto sells).  This filter has 16mm x 1.5 (not 15mm x 1.5) female threads.  The Earls fitting that I quoted ( 991955) is an o-ring seal type fitting that converts to AN-6.
