I'd say it is what he says and has had the sides filled in/smoothed. ..............lm

Hmm, could well be, why is beyond me. What about the equal indentations, or created dents underneath?

you're right LM. When I go around the tank with a magnet It's clear that in the areas that would have been filled in there is noticeable less pull on the magnet than the other areas. hope I can salvage the fuel cock. Any tricks to undoing to bottom, pot metal part, without destroying it?

I didn't see a cap but looked at the 12 other parts for that bike he has listed. .....................lm

Bout all I can recommend is plenty of release type liquid before you take a wrench to it. .........lm
