Anyone know where I could buy just the connector that connects the gas line pipe to the tank or do I have to buy the entire pipe with the connector from one of the big 3? What size is it or what thread size...is it something that would be available from a plumbing or auto specialist?

The item you are looking for is called a tubing nut ( item 60142) and can be found at TRF. You want the 5/16" ( which by the way is the same as found on the intake side of the fuel pump. It is not flared but rather uses a compression sleeve or olive to seal the pipe.
These may be available but I could not find any at our local stores.

What does BSP stand for British..... I found a package of 5/16" ferules or "olives" at a Canadian Tire store in the brake line section and I was able to get the threaded nut from the fuel line on a 4A parts car that I have. So now I can put the3 car back on the road instead of waiting for a TRF part.

British Standard Pipe....then there's BSPT (tapered), BSPP (parallel), which is of course different from NPT... 55° vs. 60°....depending on size, sometimes the threads/inch are the same, sometimes not.
