Here is a tip...

Pull the P.O.S out then tap out all of the nipples... Run to Ace Hardware in another vehicle with the tank and buy some brass nipples and JB Weld and re-do the nipples on the tank... GO REALLY HEAVY ON THE JB WELD! Then let it sit for as long as possible at least over night and then wah-la! Go ahead and re-install it and your good to go.

They wont break any more.

already did that with a peice of copper pipe and quick steel, jb weld was not intended to with stand heat. jb has never worked on any thing that got hot for me. i may try some stuff call plastic steel. home depot is a 5 minute walk(kind of a bad thing since i love power tools$$$$$$$)
