Re: IML: '66 gas tank leak

["jsadowski" <jsadowski@xxxxxxx>]

That is a drain plug. There should be a thin rubber gasket under it. The 
plug should come out with an allen wrench. I'd wait until the tank is as 
empty as possible, then remove the plug & either find another rubber gasket 
or use some gas tank sealer around the one you have & reinstall.
