Get a Step Ahead
Your fabricator will appreciate the stepped shoulder at the base of the bung, it serves as a positioning locator. This feature holds the bung in place while welding in a hole of a flat surface, or in the end of tubing when constructing a filler neck extension. This grouping of cap assemblies includes a weld-able bung.
Note: Welding should always be performed by a qualified welder.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: How much do I need to tighten a fill cap?
A: It is not necessary to bottom the fill cap into the bung−just adequately seat the O-ring. The radial squeeze action on the O-ring creates a positive seal and helps prevent the cap from coming loose.
Q: What should I use to lubricate the Buna O-ring?
A: Applied periodically, a light coating of Dielectric grease has proven to work well as an O-ring lubricant.
Q: Is Buna rubber compatible with my fluid?
A: Buna is a synthetic rubber compound suitable for use with many fluids. Buna components may need to be replaced by a material compatible with the specific chemistry of some fluids.
Q: How do I properly weld my bung?
A: Apply several small, equally spaced tacks and preheat before welding. Keep the weld small to minimize potential distortion or shrinkage.
Q: If my threads are tight after welding, how do I fix it?
A: The solution is simple. Apply a small amount of fine grit lapping compound to the threads then turn the cap back and forth in the bung until the desired fit is achieved. Be patient−do not force the process. Thoroughly clean both sets of threads before use.
PRO Fabrication Tip:
How do you calculate Tank Capacity?
You can calculate how many gallons of fluid a tank will hold by dividing the total cubic inch volume by 231. As an example a basic rectangular shaped tank measuring 12"(L) x 12"(W) x 10"(H) = 1440 cubic inches. The next step is to divide the total volume of 1440 cubic inches by 231 = 6.23 gallons.
If your tank is an irregular shape, or has unique features, calculate the cubic inch volume of those areas also, then add or subtract the values to arrive at the total cubic inch volume of your custom fabricated tank.
