The adaptor includes a housing which has a passageway that leads from the outlet opening of the fuel tank to a drain opening which is closed by a removable drain plug. A feed tube extends through the housing. One end of the feed tube extends above the sludge and water line within the tank and has an inlet opening. The outer end of the feed tube extends through the housing and is operatively connected to the fuel line.
