Gas tank drain plug

Is this a special bolt or will any bolt with a flat washer work. Wanna put my tank back in so the girls (and me!) can drive the 40 around the yard without having to fill the clorox bottle that I'm using for a gas tank every five minutes!!! Help!

You may be able to find a metric bolt to thread in there, but the drain plug for the gas tank is a 'special' part, with a larger diameter shoulder to help crush and seal with that copper washer....


Good luck!
