Fuel Tank Drain Plug
Does anyone know the size and thread pitch of the drain bolt on the bottom of the fuel tank? TIA.

B596-42-045 It can be a little hard to find since Mazda sprayed undercoating over it.

Phil,
Most folks don't know it's there because its COVERED in undercoat spray from the factory...

Damn, you're a little too late... I just drained my tank and put fresh gas in. It is probably M12 x something. You could probably go to the hardware store and buy (or borrow) a pitch gauge to measure the threads. Or you could even just buy a few bolts for a couple bucks and toss the rejects into the "bucket-o-bolts" that everyone has in their garage.

Step 1: Find plug & place container underneath Step 2: Remove plug Step 3: Watch gas come out (open gas cap for faster flow) Step 4: Replace drain plug I can take a pic this weekend if you want.

Well, I'm trying to experiment with something and need to know the size and thread pitch in order to see if it will work.
