| Kettle Custodian (pot stirrer) Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 29,846 | For a lot of years I kept a piece of 3/8-16 all thread about 3 inches long in my tool box with two nuts jammed together on one end and 1/2" of threads ground off the business end. The last few threads of that hole get gummed up with sludge since the bolt plugging the hole doesn't extend that far. No telling how many fuel pumps I changed using that tool. Jerry
