I had to rebuild the lower part of my gas tank. Thougt I welded the right nut in to accomodate a new shut off valve. Since Murphy is living living upstairs, obviously a repo fuel valve does not fit.

I somehow retreived the right thread size in the past, but lost the little yellow paper on the way. murphy will find it when the job is closed I guess ...

For once and for all, what in earth is the CORRECT thread for a 28/29 to connect to the tank ? Remember, from what I remember from welding in this 'nut', I found it at a Caterpillar dealer, out of the old stock, being served by an elderly gentleman who took some two hours to fnd it. Proud he was succeding !

Please help me out here ....
