It depends on how much crud is in your gas tank. I had a similar problem and the nut and bolt approach worked for me.

Be sure to count the hardware that you drop in and use a variety of sizes. Put a couple gallons of water in the tank with the nuts and bolts. Just shaking the tank will get the big chunks out, they are causing most of the trouble. Dump out the dirty water. Refill with clean water and repeat until the water comes out clean. Then dump in a couple quarts of isopropol alcohol to remove the water.

Once the tank is clean, just keeping it mostly full and using the tractor regularly will prevent the problem from reoccuring.

Try a regular hardware store or a NAPA for the adapter fitting. You will need to take the line and the gauage with you.
