Fuel Tank Drain Plug

[afterburn27]

Damn, you're a little too late... I just drained my tank and put fresh gas in. It is probably M12 x something. You could probably go to the hardware store and buy (or borrow) a pitch gauge to measure the threads. Or you could even just buy a few bolts for a couple bucks and toss the rejects into the "bucket-o-bolts" that everyone has in their garage.

Like others have said, the drain plug is covered in undercoat (and probably some grime), but it is still pretty easy to find. Just stick your head under the car and the plug should be staring you right in the face. Right on the bottom of the tank.

Step 1: Find plug & place container underneath
Step 2: Remove plug
Step 3: Watch gas come out (open gas cap for faster flow)
Step 4: Replace drain plug

I can take a pic this weekend if you want.
