I'm quite sure that it is a metric thread, and it's either going to be 14mm or 16mm. I'm pretty sure it is 14mm x 1.5 thread pitch. I think I found the fittings you will be needing.

I think you will need the 9894DBH Female Metric W/ internal Oring seat to AN male adapter. IIRC, the sending unit side of the line has the male end with the o-ring. this adapter should screw on to the line coming off the tank unit and has the AN -6 male nipple for the -6 line to connect to.
