Frame Fuel Filter Drain Plug tool
Just made a Drain Plug Tool out of a 1/2" PVC coupling and some 1/2" PVC pipe.

looks good...maybe add a Tee on the end for grip?

What size drill bit did you use?

Good idea. Now, if we could only remount the filter so that the diesel drains into a bucket easily instead of all over our hands.

Why? I never had any problem opening mine. Less diesel on your hands maybe? (I always wear latex gloves when draining)

Steve, When I go to loosen the drain plug it is so tight that I have to use pliers on it, this tool just makes it easier and keeps your hand away from the draining fuel.

Sounds logical. I wonder if a new oring would make it where you don't have to close so tight.

Liked your idea. Made one for myself this morning.
Put tee on end as Just Strokin suggested.
Works good.
