MA 2gen fuel tank drain plug bolt size/thread

I've looked everywhere and i havent gotten the right answer. All i want to kno is what size and thread size is the fuel tank drain plug bolt, reason for asking is I'm thinking of putting a fitting and run a fuel line to an aftermarket fuel pump.

before i get any smart remarks...its to cold out to work on my car right now but i wanna get things rdy so wen the good weather comes in i got everything ready.

I pulled mine not too long ago, I used a 14mm socket to get it out.

Wish I could pull it again for you, but the tank's full. So for now, all I can tell you is the bolt head size. Sorry!

pull it off and go to a hardware store.You can get metric bolts easily.
btw with a 14mm head the bolt size would be about 1.0 ..that bolt I think would be a fine thread so 20 x1.0.
make sure you use a crush washer on that spot to prevent leakage..
