You would also have to drill a hole in the front apron, for the tap to =
go through. And it would have to be large enough for the whole tap unit =
and handle if you want to be able to move the cooler without removing =
the tap and draining it.
IMO, it is something that has not been a problem for the last 50-60 =
years, so I wouldn=E2=80=99t waste any time trying to solve it. The oil =
will get =E2=80=9Cdirty looking=E2=80=9D soon enough, anyway.
