Any ideas of how to get this plug out other than drilling it?


Find an Allen wrench size that just fits the hole. Try the next size
larger that you have (inch or metric). If it does not quite fit
(good), hammer it in the hole (if you have access to be able to do
that), then torque the plug out. FM




A good tool I've found for this is an appropriate sized Torx bit. They
are usually a bit larger than the allen, and can be driven in with a
hammer like an easy-out. Works well for me.



Good idea, but FIRST light up a torch and put it inside the hex opening.
It won't take much, just a few seconds, but when it cools the plug will
come out much easier.



Uh, the OP did say those were gas tanks.....And there was "old gas" in
the other tank.

Probably nothing would happen, but I'd be chicken to take a torch to
it...Cluck ..
