I moved your question since the How To topics are were you post how to do something, not advice.

And, ummm...I can't quite figure out what you are asking.

You could try, but from the posts under the video, it has mixed results.

I would attempt to drill/tap a pipe fitting before I attempted to low temperature "weld" a tube to the pan. It looked like it was more suited for patching holes than bonding two parts together.

I honestly would have it TIG welded in place myself, if at all possible.

If you had a steel pan, brazing would work, but you cannot braze with a propane torch. You would need a MAPP gas setup at the least.

Always wondered why you guys don't just drill the pan and use bulkhead fittings?

did that will resist to oil temps ??and if i use that i have to fing a good spot ! without any angle because its probaly gonna leak ??

they make bulkhead fittings out of everything from plastic, aluminum, brass, and steel.

yes since the stock pan tapers you would have to measure the angle and then drill at that same angle giving the nuts a flat surface to seal against. Or machine two flat spots then drill the hole.
