Slight leak from fuel tank drain plug
Hi All
Noticed that there is a slight leak from my fuel tank drain plug last night. Does anyone know how these are sealed? I do recall the previous owner mentioned that they had cleaned out the tank a couple of times so it sounds like it has been on and off a couple of times over the last 4 years or so.

Empty the tank, remove the drain plug, clean the threads and reinstall with a dab of fuel resistant liquid gasket (from Three bond, 3M or other) on the threads. That should fix it.
