Default Water storage tank leak

There's an obsolete 15mm outlet that used to supply a shower unit. For
some reason, maybe to maximise the pressure,


The reason is safety of people using the shower.

the hole for this outlet
is very close to the bottom edge of the tank, leaving little room for
any flanged fittings that might be used to seal the hole.


How little room? Is the problem that the flange would strike the
bottom of the tank, or that the radius of the tank wall at the
corner would prevent the flange fitting flush to the wall?
