What tool I need to drain the gas tank on a 1950 Super 6? Not my car, just need to bring correct tools to do this job. Old gas needs to go!

    He might consider installing this drain plug later; a hose slides on for emergency, etc.  Sorry, think a 3/8" socket drive fits but am not 100% remembering. This is the lowest drain of 2 on a '53.

    I use a toolbit and put a wrench on it. I can't recall the size at the moment. Just measure what you would need.

    3/8" Socket drive is a little too big, but if you have a cheap 2" spare extension, grind it down a little on two sides until it fits in the hole (I think it's about 5/16").  Then you have a specialized (and dedicated) Hudson tool.
