Weld a nut to the plug. The heat will loosen it and now you got a place the

See my previous comment about using a torch...

He said it was a GAS TANK, remember?

Yeah, so? He's not going to be welding *inside* the tank
or *through* the tank wall. He said the gas is old, so most
of the lighter volatiles will have already evaporated. The
tank isn't going to get very hot while just welding a nut on
the plug. The arc will be well away from the tank vent.
No more dangerous than any other welding done on a
vehicle with a gas tank.
