I have after market oil lines with AN fittings. The line from the tank to the cooler has a leak. Apparently at the cooler end. As I think about replacing the line, I’ve been thinking about putting in a fitting at the tank end with a valve or a threaded hole for a drain plug. Something to make draining the oil easier than disconnecting the hose. Anyone here ever done such a thing?

A simple solution is to drill a hole in the union between the tank hose and the cooler hose and tap the hole for a short bolt. I used an M6. I drilled the bolt head for safety wire.
Snip the wire, remove bolt, drain tank and lines, replace bolt. Rewire. I use a copper washer to seal the bolt. Small. Simple. Safe. Works. If you forget to replace the bolt you will know right away. |
