Still kinda confused about my gas tank???

Use stainless rod.

5/16 is fine for a mild engine. Also, you could pull from the top of the tank and not have to worry about a shutoff. Might be easier for you...

Thanks, Blue Eyed Devil.

The cool thing we were noticing about the petcock valve in the bottom is it will give me a reserve of probably 2-3 gallons... enough to get me to a gas station.

KD, If you decide you want a larger inline fuel shut off valve, you can get them from Speedway, Summitt, or a variety of other places.

I found this on ebay... pretty cheap too. There are several others to choose from.

You are the new king of cool. Now if only you could get some tags for it......

One more thing I'm wondering about... Can a 5/16 hose fitting work with 3/8 hose... and the same with 1/4 hose fitting? I'm finding either a 5/16 outlet or a 1/4" outlet on these petcocks. This one in particular says, "Work with 5/16" and 3/8" fuel lines".

This one is cheaper, but I was wondering if the same goes for this fitting...

Bonehead, I think you might have posted in the wrong thread. I know I'm cool, but don't get that last comment? hehe.
