Malpassi Filter King filter/regulator leak
Ages ago I bought a Filter King regulator on ebay - and I think I know why it had been put up for sale... 
There's a grey plastic plug on the outlet side, presumably to block up a hole made when drilling out an internal passageway, and it's
weeping petrol. Not a great deal, but enough to build up a drip over time, and to give a stink of petrol. Not something I'm comfortable
about...
It's the same as the grey plug in this picture, but on the other side:
 
So - does anyone know their way round these beasties, and whether this plug can be taken out and replaced/re-fitted/re-sealed? I know that I could
strip it down and fit a plug of my own, but I'd like to do it properly if I can.
cheers,
David

I would agree with your theory - there will be a right angle hole inside the body made by drilling two holes not surprisingly at right angles and
blocking one off.
In the past I used as brass plug and araldited a similar passage way without any problems.
