Fuel tank drain plug nightmare! S100

Featured Replies

Just returned from the Czech republic where my son is the proud owner of a 74 S100. Really not many of these still up and running and he gets bags of spares left annonymously on his mirrors from time time time.... how good is that! Anyway the real issue is this..... Some swine has drained his fuel and he is having real difficulty finding a replacement drain plug for the much loved 'Emile'. Let's face it if you were a fuel thief would you not put the plug back and go back in a week?

Does anyone out there have a spare they could sell me or have the size, thread details so I can source one in the UK? The poor car is now de-winterised, ready to go but the fuel just runs straight out over you feet... and then down the street... then!.......

Any help gratefully received!

I too have a S100!! The plug will be a metric fine thread, possible M12 or M14.

I would be tempted to try perhaps a sparkplug thread as a temporary solution.

Fantastic...... Will order one.... no make that a few!.... straight away. I think that this is an excuse to book up with Wizzair and pop over to Brno for a few days! Thanks again and all the very best from the UK! Cheers.
