1985 W123 300D Fitted Hose

I have a 1985 300D that I have been running with biodiesel. I started with B20. This caused the fuel lines (as I expected) to soften and weep. I have replaced all of the fuel lines under the hood with fluoroelastomer tubing. So far for whatever reason the fuel lines at the tank are still firm, however, I want to prepare to replace them with fluoroelastomer tubing. I question is concerning the fitted fuel line that connects to the in-tank fuel filter. I am trying to find a fitting to connect to the filter, but I am having difficulty determining the thread size. Does anyone know what size of thread this is?
Thank you,
