Hex socket size on SC tank drain?

I need to drain the gas tank in my SC before I remove it. Does any happen to know what size the hex the drain on the bottom of the tank takes? I need to pick up a socket and want to avoid getting the wrong size. I couldn't find anything in the Bentley.

Thanks,

T.

Get a big sparkplug socket, put an extension in the plug end and use the other end to loosen the allen. Works perfectly.

great link Mark...I took a large hex shaped bold and cut it down to size but the thread posted answers that.
