Lucas CAV fuel filter drain plug

[dulcibella]

When I tried to remove the plastic drain plug from the glass bowl of my Lucas CAV fuel filter today, the plug sheared leaving the threaded bit in the bowl Still fuel tight, but a nuisance when doing the filter change. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement plug?

Try ASAP, I seem to remember that it is 3/8" Whitworth thread. Easy enough to remove the remains of the plastic screw if you remove the bowl first.

Yes, you can get them from ASAP Supplies - they do metal ones too!

Always had very good service from this place, and good prices too.
