Hey All,

I was getting ready to strip my tank yesterday for painting and as I was
trying to remove one of the petcocks the threaded recess started to bend in
on the tank body. The petcock never came off and I don't think I can try
anymore without the metal breaking totally.

I will need to repair this. Anybody have to deal with this problem in the
past? Suggestions? I am thinking I will need to get a thin piece of metal to
have welded. on the bottom and drill new taps.

Thanks in advance...Ian
