The tank’s outlet pipe has a fitting for fuel line connection and may be placed in the side of the tank. Its lower end is almost one-half inch above the tank’s bottom to prevent the accumulated sediments from being flushed out into the vehicle’s carburetor. The bottom of the tank has a drain plug that’s aimed to make draining and cleaning of the tank easy.
