This is an Italian-built car so most threads are metric. Some tanks have M16 
x1.5 metric while other have M22 x 1.5 threads and neither are tapered. If 
your car is similar to most U.S Panteras, with a little care you can run an SAE 
pipe tap into the tank drain and rethread it. Be careful to not construct a 
"Christmas tree" of fittings hanging down below the tank to snag road debris- a 
couple of cars have done so and ripped the bottom out of their tanks. Use the 
most compact system of fittings you can find, for safety's sake. Good luck- J
