Hi,

Anyone know the replacement size for the drain plug and washer?

The bolt is a M8 and the washer is a corroded aluminum M8 washer.

To replace: Cut a cork 8mm in diameter wedged up to 12mm. Cone shaped. Remove the bolt with a catch bucket below. Quickly seal hole with finger until the cork is ready to be inserted. Insert the cork and clean bolt. Wrap thread tape 3 times around the bolt. Replace the washer with a new M8 Teflon washer. Found on Amazon for $15 (80 pcs box). Reinstall in reverse.

I replaced the second tank at the same time.
