Fuel filter drain plug

[Boozer76]

I changed out my fuel filters today. I took the drain plug out first and noticed that the bolt looks like Chebacca used it as a chew toy for a while on the end. What could have caused this? I had to tighten it up quite a bit to keep it from leaking out of there anymore, I suspect it is because of the bolt. Anyone ever see anything like that? Sorry I couldn't get a picture of it in time.

You should really replace it with the upgraded drain plug as shown here:Horizontal Fuel Conditioning Module Drain Plug

It's so much easier to use than the stupid original one and you won't have any leaks.

I've seen it on mine, i've got the upgraded plug, no more mess.

Sent from my phone that somebody didn't help me get.

Any suggestions on getting it out it you have some trouble getting it out? I changed my filters last week, and can get it out.

You can take an allen wrench and epoxy it to the drain plug, let it set up then unscrew it and replace it with the upgraded plug!

I've actually broken an allen wrench on a drain plug before. At that point it's best to just change the side cover
