Dan,listen to Chris.Use an air powered drillmotor for the reasons he stated.Then get a good quality quarter inch pipe tap and pilot drill for same. Leave that old plug alone. Move over to the side of it and drill a new hole. Then flush the tank out. Now tap that hole and install a new plug with recessed hex. If you've never tapped for pipe plugs before, it's kind of trial and error. The tap is tapered and you don't to make the hole so big that the plug might not tighten up before it goes in too deep. Here's another tip for taps. Find a regular hex nut that is too small to go over the square drive of the tap.Measure the square drive diagonally and this will usually be the size nut you will need.Open your vice up enough to accept the tap lengthwise with the nut placed flat on the square. Now carefully close the vice and press the nut onto the tap. You now have a tap that a socket will fit and you can add extensions to get out of a tight place, plus, you can now use a ratchet instead of a tap handle or wrench. I hope this helps somebody. Steve.
