I think you are talking about the drain plug?
It is a bolt with a tube out of the centre
You could also use a bolt if you have lost the original

DO NOT use a bolt - it won't seal properly

it's one of these, or use a brake bleeder

That's a good idea, never thought about a brake bleed valve :?

These drains are a PITA, if/when my tank comes out again it'll be getting a brass plug and some Loctite. 8)

My vans tank has a bolt, similar to a sump plug. my sedans have the drain tube. What should the van have?
