I used a short piece of 1/4 in copper and just tappered the end on the grinder to make a snug fit. It fit tight enough that I felt it would stay. I like the idea of the screen but not to fine as to move the plug up to a even worse spot than the sediment bowl.
When I said I vacuumed out the bottom of the tank I meant to say by using a rather large syphon hose. Start the flow, then run the suction end over the bottom of the tank and around the bowl inlet. I ran this into a filtered container and reused it. if you have time to wait for the crud to set to the bottom of the container befor you pour it back thats even better.
GAS,TANKS & FUMES scare the $^%@ out of me as I knew someone killed by accidently cutting a empty 55 gal. drum with a tourch. the drum had been used for gas at some point and must of had just enough in it to make fumes. Always have a good ABC fire ext. in your shop. Wont stop an explosion though.
