Reply to "Fuel tank drain plug thread"

HELLO KELLY! I SAW YOUR PICTURES OF THE REBUILD OF YOUR BLACK PANTERA! REALLY NICE WORK! THE BEEFED UP WINSOR LOOKS OUTRAGIOUS! I KNOW IT'S VERY POWERFULL! YOU BUILT A MACHINE WE'RE ALL PROUD OF! WELL DONE MISTER!! ABOUT THE FUEL TANK; ALL I KNOW IS: THAT THE LITTLE PLUG ON THE TOP, (SOME TANKS DON'T HAVE IT, MINES A '74 AND DOES) IS A 1/8" NPT, SO MAYBE YOUR LUCKY ENOUGH THAT THE BOTTOM PLUG WOULD ALSO BE NPT. I DON'T KNOW, I TRIED TO UNSCREW IT IN THE PAST AND IT WOULD HAVE TAKEN SUCH GREAT A TORQUE TO DISLODGE IT, THAT I STOPPED IN FEAR OF "TEARING" THE SHEET METAL. IF YOU WERE TO FIND THE CORRECT FITTING FOR THE BOTTOM PLUG, THAT IS WHERE I WOULD PUT THE NEW PICK-UP FOR FUEL. IT WOULD CERTAINLY NEVER BECOME UNCOVERED OF FUEL! MAYBE USE A 90 DEGREE (SINCE THE LARGER DIAMETER WOULD NOT BE THE RESTRICTION OF A SMALLER SIZE; AND THEN, OFCOURSE, RUN IT FIRST THING, TO THE FUEL FILTER. THAT SHOULD GIVE YOU ALL THE FLOW YOU WOULD EVER NEED. REGARDS, MARLIN.
