Hi everybody so I have a new tank for my 2001 bullet 500 ,,,, not sure what year it's from but my fuel tap does not fit . I may need one with a female end,,unless the mail coming out of the tank is removable ???, it looks like it may can come out with vice grips because has no nut ,,it's just round then the threads..
Is the male coming out the tank removable??? Or do I need some sort of adaptor, if so what should I use?

I was going to post a pic but can't seem to make it happen.

See Photo Sharing by Exile on page 2.

Thanks Leon,,,,!, any idea if this comes out ?

Yes Izzy, the picture is there.

That's great way cool ..now that the pic is up just either gotta find out if that male comes out the tank? or how to get my tap on there 🏍

Izzy who supplied the tank? I suggest asking them.

I wonder is it some sort of bodge?
Never seen A female tap

My BMW (RT) tank has female threads, I thought it was just the Germans coming over all over-engineering as they are inclined to do. Looking at the picture (it is a bit blurry so I'm not sure on this,) but does the boss have an internal hexagon? Perhaps for an Allen key? And can I just see an edge above the base of the tank? If it is it may be a female to female adaptor (no sniggering at the back please.)
