[DeTomaso] more fuel system questions

[Doug Braun]

Paul,

	The drain on my 73L was M22 and tapered as well.  I just tapped it out to
3/4" NPT, inserted a concentric 3/4"NPT to 1/2"NPT bushing reducer and then
a 1/2" street elbow.  This puts the horizontal leg of the elbow very close
to the bottom of the tank.  I have details for the rest of the plumbing if
someone needs it.

I've been quiet about this because I was beginning to think I had an
oddball car.  My drain plug is M22 thread and tapered.

on the threads??  IF it is not a pipe thread, then I am not sure how it
sealed in the first place.
