Andy,
These are hard to find. I have two for mine. They are made of brass.

Here are some pics of the 2 I have.  One steel the other brass.  The nicer looking one is steel.

I think the brass one had a handle at one point i think that rusted away. I pulled it out of a totally trashed tank. Could not get the cap to unscrew so I pulled hard and it separated from the rubber. Had to cut the fuel strainer out from bottom. Brass one is heavier than steel one.

I have only one tank so I'm not sure if I will keep the other. Might get another tank one day.
