In summary: How big is the tank? Can you get inside it? Where's the outlet go?In summary, someone stuck a hose with a 3inch pipe nut into a tank with a round gland, and has been trying to get the nut out for hours without success. They added boiling water to the tank and it is so close but not close enough. They tried getting the nut perpendicular to the hole, and aligning it so the sides and not the vertices are lined up with the edges of the round hole, but it didn't work. They tried grinding the corners off with a Dremel or some such device, but it didn't work. They then tried getting the nut off by either tapping it
