Yeah, thanks. I need to hit the boneyards for some other stuff and I think I'll just take one out and use it to search for one with the 3/8 fitting. Hopefully, it exists somewhere within a 100 mile radius of me.

My friend did it his way because he avoided emptying the tank that way -- he just crimped the hose, cut it an inch downstream, and went from there. Hopefully, I can pull it off, running the tank down to near empty and just draining the rest.
