Can anyone tell me what the size of the fuel tank drain plug is?
I need to order a fluid bolt and a banjo fitting for it but I am not ready to pull it out of the tank yet.
Thanks.

Part number wise, it is 22MM by 1.0 pitch.

Yup, that's what I thought. The two largest suppliers of metric fasteners don't carry anything that large.
OK, Fredrick, where'd ya' get the parts? Probably in a Euro Home Depot, right?
Help me! Excuse me, I have to go bang my head on the wall now!

Purchase the 22MM x 1.5 to 8AN adapter fitting from Pegasus.
Chuck the fitting in a lathe and remove the AN end from the fitting, machine the fitting smooth & flat.
Now drill the Pegasus adapter fitting and tap it for the threads of a readily available SAE spec banjo fitting of the proper size.
For a 1/2 hours worth of work you'll end up with the exact fiting you are looking for.
If you don't have a lathe, you probably know somebody who does. If not, mail it to me, I'll machine the fitting for you. Other than the adapter fitting, you'll need to purchase the banjo fitting & through bolt you want to use, plus the proper tap for the through bolt threads.

The fitting from Parker is here and installed.
It threads in perfectly. It is a 1/2 ISO to -10JIC.
It got here fast. The package said Made in England.You can see a really nice pic of it posted in the Electric Fuel Pump thread.
I am going to use it as the supply.
I will use the original factory pickup as the return.
This will eliminate any possibilaty of vapor lock in the system.
Thanks to all. I never would have found that fitting without this Forum.
