That works on oil plugs too, lost the drain plug on a car back in the 80:s, lost all the oil. Stopped as quick as I could, found a stick and made it fit with the help of an old knife I had in the trunk. Drove slowly to the nearest petrolstation and filled up with new oil. Took a week to get a new plug but the stick held the oil, no problem.Well I headed off down the road to see a mate, after about 4 miles it was running on one cylinder, I look down and see fuel , I quickly turn the gas off, the bowl drain plug is gone left side , crap . I did try looking for it but no luck , so then I thought I would hold my finger on the hole , fill the bowls and try to engage 1st gear with the clutch , get it rolling then finger back on the hole , nope back on one cylinder, two attempts, gave up on that , then I had an ideafind a stick and screw it in , sort of , we'll this worked good enough to limp home .
