Hi folks,
Swapping my Cummins 6BTA Fuel Filter over to the port side of the engine (old hose had started leaking and for convenience).
I need to extract the fuel filter housing pipe plug from one port and move it to the other side of the filter head. It seems to be a weirdly sized square female socket. So, far a boat yard, an auto parts store, a hardware store and a web search have all failed to reveal what tool I need to do it or have anything that fits.
Anyone got any ideas, or I am going to have to buying an expensive pipe plug extractor tool from Cummins, or resort to making a tool, which seems crazy for moving a simple plug! Mind you I had to spend $150 on getting a bracket made (Cummins cost more and had a 6 week lead time)!
Its item #4 in the attached image. Any thoughts as to size or ideas much appreciated.
Cheers
Bernie
