Don't know how many of you have thought about simpler more convenient ways of draining your carburetors of ethanol blended fuel and attendant goo, gum and crud between uses or while stored to keep them clean.....I used to say "keep everything filled with fuel to keep it clean and rust free". No more with ethanol blended fuels....poor aging, debris, phase separation, free water. Better to drain!
Here's a nice little system brought to us from the snowmobilers of the frozen north and Thunder Products:

Hooks up real well with a threaded barb drilled and tapped into the Drain Plug but would be even better if I could find a M8 X 1.0 metric thread to 6mm tubing or hose adapter in brass to simply replace the hex head drain plug rather than tapping a smaller one into it 'piggy back' style.
Can anyone recommend a US source? Metric threaded (M8 x 1.0) barbed brass adapters (like the first hose adapter) seems quite hard to source. The second one is 1/4" x 28 and the last is the M8 x 1.0 OEM brass drain plug btw. Reward! Blue
