Also, if I do hit something the drain will swivel from front to back but if something hits it from the side, I guess it will break and I'm SOL. I guess I need to replace the 90° elbow, oops, street el with a 90° 3/8 hose fitting, oops, street hose el (I think). Then replace the pipe with 3/8 fuel hose and stick the valve in the end of that. Or just get a straight 3/8 hose nipple (a street whatever) threaded with 1/8 pipe, screw it into the drilled and tapped plug and put any length of 3/8 fuel hose on it and put the valve in it.
Ayway, it really works great and no more fuel down the arm or PITA WIF lites.
