draining the fuel tank

'78 brat

 

I am just starting to get my lifted '78 brat back on the road. The bolt to drain the gas tank didn't have much of a head on it (only about 1/8" to grip).

 

I just did a shower valve repair and had bought an assortment of different size deep sockets. One of them fit it perfect, 1 1/32 ". Worked great.

 

They were cheap rolled steel, 15 bucks for 6 of em.
