The tank on my new to me mx3 has a bolt in it looks te same ad a oil drain plug.
Is this stock I've never seen one before. It's leaking slighty not dripping just wet around it so I need to fix it just wondering.

Should I just thread tape the bolt or use some sealant or what.

I checked search already and nothing

Ya stock tanks have them. May be just a bad gasket.

Alright thanks. I'll have to fix it and keep it functional them. I haven't seen them on anything else before

teflon tape may not hold up to the fuel. Look for a new plug/washer combo
