In your other post I think you said the flanged bung itself is cracked PLUS the solder?

Is it riveted to the tank, as well as soldered?

I looked on-line for a replacement flanged bung, but did not immediately find one, if nothing else one could be salvaged from another tank, perhaps?

Or, it would be simple to make one out of brass on a lathe.

I don't know why you'd want to BRAZE it to the tank, the extra heat will warp the metal around it and burn off the tine coating (terne metal) on the tank.

I would use StaBrite, a silver solder, it's stronger than lead-tin solder.

As to safety, have the tank steamed out, then fill it with an inert gas before soldering.
