Hi Tony
If you go to a marine equipment dealer you will be able to buy a
gas/diesel resistant rubber expandable plug used for bilges and the
bottom of tanks. They insert into the hole and tighten with a
screwdriver or wrench. You will have to enlarge the present 1/8 inch
hole to the minumum needed to push the plug in before tightening.
Humvee diesel tanks use such a plug. Then you will always have a drain
plug in the future also,

Subject: [MV] help needed to repair a plastic/poly fuel tank
I have a deisel tank made out of some sort of plastic that has a 1/8"
hole in it (on the bottom). Anyone have any ideas on how to plug/repair
this thing? There is no easy access to the inside of the tank.
Thanks
Tony
