Due to the fact we ran out of Oil yesterday (should have checked!!) and it will be a couple of days to get a supply, one disadvantage to a Stanley, no heating hot water or cooking! carry-out and microwave it is then..... ,
I decided to use this opportunity to fit an immersion heater to the hot water tank, now remove the blanking plug that was fitted by a 20st gorilla in the factory, well after a spanner, hammer and a few curses, the tank appears to start distorting if I put pressure on it? I have come to the conclusion it is not going to come out without a fight! (1)
Anyone have any ideas how to get it out, preferably without replacing the tank as well? (2)

(1) after the incident last year when I fitted a shower pump, and it turned out the cold water galvanised tank was more like a colander when the mud was disturbed thankyou insurance .
(2) Then the original hot water tank which had the immersian heater in it sprung a leak
ahh the pleasures of maintaining an old cottrage
