Small part needed

Does anyone have a bleeder screw for the top of the secondary fuel filter housing they would like to part with? The hex head and stem broke of the main part today when I obviously overtightened it after changing fuel filters today :(
Thanks,
BC

BC use an 1/8 NPT pipe plug (brass) until you find the real thing.
It can be used as a bleeder valve also by cracking it and then tightening it.

Yes Bjorn, it looked like common pipe fittings though I didn't check right then. Looks like one could use the same type of petcock drain that is on the bottom of the cannisters and would have a little more control over where it spews out and catch the fuel instead of having it spray all over the engine compartment, as mine did.
