Hi Hugh,
Before you go trough too much work, check to see if you have a drain plug
over there somewhere. One of my tanks had a plug and rubber washer
there. I never noticed it until I started using the tank to hold the #2
fuel for my heating system in the garage. It started leaking and was
easily remedied by snugging it up a bit.
Good luck,
Jay
