Does anyone know the thread size and type of the outlet at in the bottom of a beetle tank. I'm at work so can't measure it.

TIA

M18x1.0...good luck finding a fitting for that!

Perhaps something at you work may have what you need?

Normally there is an olive and a 6mm tube fits in there,
and the nut pulls it into the hole.

That was an Oval tank that I checked, but I think they are all the same.

Thanks Dave...olive and tube were rusted in. Will do a cut and shut on the fitting I think.

Was going to tee the return line for the press reg into that aswell, but i'm worried about the effect it will have on the pressure setting. I've decided to run the press reg return into the big plug in the top corner of the tank.
