Tom:

I believe there is a set of plugs for the tank ports that you use to
seal it when having it blasted or whatever.  I think they float around
the list for the cost of postage to send to the next person.  Who
has them now?  I don't recall seeing any mention for a year or so,
but an archive search might turn up information.  David B.--your
names comes to mind on this topic; anything to add?
