It took a bit of hunting, but when I was installing the correct parts for my dual tank system, I found that valve on ebay. Don't think I found it anywhere else though...

IIRC, I've seen the valve on Rock Auto before.

Heat !!! Large Crescent with cheater pipe out the left or right side. Like a 4ft fence post. Once it moves 1/8 turn, you can take the cheater off and go to town.

Worst case, fill a big ziplock bag with lube and stuff it in there, then put the cover back on.

I figure i have two ways to go..

1 weld a nut to the filler plug and the heat should break it loose and toss my big ratchet on it and giver..

2 take the cover off and weld in a filler plug at the right height.. But either one is extra work and this ole truck is one step forward and two steps back for everything.
