M170 gas tank plug

Postby TX54M170 » Mon Apr 02, 2012 7:25 pm

Hello,

I recently got our gas tank fix up. In the prossess we lost the drain plug.

I know it is ½ inch and fine threaded. I tried a bolt but it did not seal. What am I looking for and/or where do I get one?


Thank you,

Bill

If I recall correctly it is a square headed pipe plug.

By the parts list it is a hex head brass 1/4" pipe plug.
