I have worried about turning this fitting while taking the tank out ( at least ) yearly. While doing tank 'CLIP' mod, decided to do this mod. I spent 2 hour serious work making the alum plate. I mixed JB Weld to put under the plate. The plate fitting is fairly snug, and takes a hammer and punch to put in place. I have not tried it yet, but thought anyone doing the tank mod might like to consider doing it also.

To all RV-12 owners and builders, this mod could save you from a major fuel leak when you remove your tank for annual. I have cringed at trying to get a wrench on the second nut to relieve the pressure from installing and removing the two tank lines. This mod removes that worry.
IMHO, this is one of the best mods you can do the next time you have the tank out.
Well done John B.
