These are very common and used on early antique motorcycles. When I'm done all this will
get Cadmium Plated 👀
INDIAN's Harley Davidson, Crocker, old british
Watch the old british because the threads are BSP ' british standard pipe ' which you don't want.
WHAT you may know that ANY plumbing supply / hardware store had Gland Nuts in American threads. What you do need.
These are available now, anywhere !

THIS could be used as a TAP OFF........ remove the valve core and use the cap to seal. When you want / need to drain the tank [ slow as it may be ] this could very well work.

ANOTHER BENDING TIP
Tape the line ends and PACK & I mean PACK fine grained sand into the steel brake line before bending and you a lot less likely to kink on a small radius. Use Steel over copper , because copper can "work - Harden " depending on vibration, fatigue & softer material. 1/4" steel brake line is the bees knees.
Be Extra Sure and use a taper drill bit @ the end INSIDES of the steel lines so the 'flow' of fuel isn't restricted or any turbulence caused
inside the line. ! ! ! ! ! ! !
A " V_Belt' Pulley . . . . . also acts as a bending shoe............:
