Hi

Does anyone know where to get the valve on bottom of gas tank. Or what size thread it is? See a few online but not sure of the size.

Nice if Rupp used same one. Seems like it's much easier to find Rupp parts. Probably because like someone posted on this forum millions of Rupp's were made!

Thank's for any help.

Majority of tanks I've run across use 1/8" NPT, had a couple need 1/4" NPT. Get yourself a thread gauge or post pics.

since the threads are NPT, it has a taper. I don't use anything on the threads. I have a 1/8 NPT tap too. i often chase the tank's threads first (often they are pretty knarly.)
