Default Fuel Tank Inspection Cover Leak

Personally I think that just retapping the 2 holes for larger screws
will solve the problem.


Is it possible that they are self-tapping screws? (I believe mine are.)

I had to jerry-rig our tank a few years and got a slight leak when
full. I just slathered some 3M fuel-resistant "caulk".
