I have a 52 with a leaky bung ,leaky bung can you imagine ,it's sounds like some embarrassing medical condition .i tried tightening the little drain nut but I bet some prior owner did that and spun the bung in the tank ,I tried sanding off the area and covering the whol area with epoxy but it sticks good works until the gas cooks the stuff and it peels off I tried draining the tank and repeated still has a teensy leak. If gas wasn't 5 million dlls a gallon I'd ignore it
I hate the thought of 500 for a tank and I bet a couple of 100 for shipping for a good tank with bung issues!
