fixing a gas tank

[keefer]

thats what I did...but I made the hole ever so slightly too large....if you wiggle it you can hear the air hiss...

I either need to drill it out for a bigger one, or epoxy the one into place....

Wrap 5 or 6 layers of teflon tape around the threads to tighten it up a little. This should get it sealed up. I drilled out an old tank that had broken nipples. I used the brass units with teflon tape and it has worked fine for months now.

No epoxy no duct tape :eek5: just look in McMaster for a bulkhead fitting and uses that with an o ring on the outside of the tank. Have a neighbor’s kid get his hand in the tank to start the nut or hold the fitting on the back side of the bulk head.

Try #5478k67

You should have said something at the beach last weekend...
I broke both the nipples off of mine not long ago. I got 2 of the brass fittings that are barbed on both sides, drilled out both holes, and 5200'd them in. They don't leak at all.
Mark44's Mcmaster fittings would look better though.
