ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and a process for permitting the fuel tank of a motor vehicle to be drained periodically to remove accumulated water, dirt and contaminated fuel. The apparatus includes a kit which includes an attaching member which is adapted to be attached to the lower outer portion of the fuel tank. The attaching member has a threaded hole through it and a bolt with a washer is provided which is adapted to be threaded into the hole. After the attaching member has been attached to the fuel tank a hole is drilled through the fuel tank in the central portion of the threaded hole in the attaching member. The bolt and washer effectively prevent leakage of fuel through this hole until the tank is to be drained.
