I am going to plumb in a fuel cell tonight on my Uly, does any body know what size and thread the plug in the bottom of the tank is?
TIA
Steve

Steve,
I have a fuel cell on my Uly. But I don't know the plug size. Here's what I did. I removed the plug and went to a local auto store. Told them what I was doing, gave them the stock plug and had them look for an elbow fuel connection.

My receipt shows a purchase under misc. Hope that helps.

Bob

IIRC the plug uses an "AN" style fitting. I had a little problem finding one as all of my local auto shops didn't carry them. A good speed shop, or in my case, a hydraulic hose company had them. I used a 90 degree hose barb. good luck
