Next time mine comes out it will get a 3/8 UNF grubscrew there instead.
If you need to drain the tank it's easier to just siphon it than fight with that damned drain.

Mini is currently in the paint shop & something I might have overlooked. A new boot floor is in place & I noticed there is no hole for the fuel tank drain. Is the hole necessary, if so can anyone provide a reference or dimension for the location of the hole. |

Just had a look a my boot floor since im in the shed. Im guessing the drain is located behind the wheel arch. If so I apologise but I have already cut out that section. |

I will take the tank with me when I am down at the panel shop at the end of the week & mark it up. Thanks for the replys. |
