[DeTomaso] more fuel system questions

Tue Jul 22 06:29:22 EDT 2008

The plug that came off my 73 tank has no gasket, and there is no flat surface.  just a big threaded hole.  When I replace it, do I use any sealer on the threads??  IF it is not a pipe thread, then I am not sure how it sealed in the first place.

Justin,

Gas Tank Drain Plug M22 x 1.5. 

The drain plug is not a pipe thread. It seals flat against a gasket surface and requires a gasket.

>>>>>http://64.202.180.37/files/metric.pdf has M22 banjo fittings and banjo fitting bolts.

Google M22 banjo fittings and you easily spend the afternoon.

Have fun,
